You cannot correlate birth weight to gestational age. There are too many factors that affect the birth weight.
I have seen 38 weekers at 4 pounds, and 33 weekers at 4 pounds.
Ask your Mom or Dad when your original due date was; and calculate that from date born in weeks.

There really isn't an answer for that. I was born 2 months early and I was 4 lbs 3 oz but my brother in law was born 2 months early and he was only 2 lbs. It depends on a lot of things. I come from a family of big babies (my oldest son was 8 lbs 13.5 oz and my youngest was 9 lbs 4.1 oz my aunt and uncle who are twins were 6 lbs each and full term and twins are normally small around 3-5 lbs) and my husbands seem to be normal sized (He was 7 lbs 7 oz). Sorry that nobody can really help you. You might want to ask your parents or a family member on how early you were.

That depends on a whole lot of things, Probably about a month. Babys seem to weigh more in the past few years at birth. And your not a baby, Depends on the size of your parents and weather your mother might have smoked, or had been ill. Could maybe be 1 1/2 .

Only your mom could tell you that. I know a girl that had her daughter 3 days late and her baby was only 4.04 pounds. That is tiny, but no one can tell you if you were premature and if so how many days or weeks.

Rule of thumb is 1/2 pound gain per week at the end. How big should you have been. If 7, American average for boys, you'd have been 6 weeks early.
But, my son was 6-15 and spent two weeks in intensive care. From lung function they figured he was 3-4 weeks early. He should have been 8 1/2 pounds. It's not just size, it's ripeness.

That doesn't mean you were premature - you could have just been a small, full term baby.

There is not a correlation. You could be any weight and premature.
