At 27 weeks pregnant you are in the second trimester, with about 13 weeks to go until a 40-week due date. Weeks are counted from the first day of your last period, so this is roughly month 7 of pregnancy.
How big is your baby at 27 weeks?
Around week 27, your baby is often compared to a cauliflower. Fruit and vegetable comparisons are a friendly way to picture the size, not an exact measurement.
From the INTERGROWTH-21st international standard (University of Oxford), the median estimated fetal weight at 27 weeks is about 970 g. Most healthy babies fall between roughly 790 g and 1.22 kg (about the 2nd to 98th percentile). Scan estimates carry some margin of error, so a number on its own is rarely a reason to worry. Our guide on reading the weight on your scan report explains more, and the baby weight checker lets you enter your own report.
The second trimester covers weeks 14 to 27. Many people find it the more comfortable stretch, and baby movements are often first noticed around this time.
