About This Tool

The LGA Calculator for Newborn is an essential online tool designed to assess whether a newborn is large for gestational age based on birth weight and gestational age. It helps healthcare providers and parents quickly evaluate neonatal growth status using established growth percentiles, supporting early detection of potential health issues.
