Which of the following weights would be considered within the normal full-term AGA range?

• A. 5 Pounds 8 Ounces
• B. 6 Pounds 10 Ounces
• C. 9 Pounds 2 Ounces
• D. 11 Pounds 5 Ounces

Answer: (B)

Normal full-term AGA covers birth weights roughly from 2,500 g (about 5 lb 8 oz) to 4,000 g (about 8 lb 13 oz). The weights given translate to: 5 lb 8 oz is about 2,495 g (just below the lower limit), 6 lb 10 oz is about 3,005 g (within the range), 9 lb 2 oz is about 4,140 g (slightly above the upper limit), and 11 lb 5 oz is about 5,140 g (well above). So the weight that falls in the normal full-term AGA range is 6 pounds 10 ounces.
