- Case Study: Premature Birth in an At-Risk Family Erica is a former 27-week female, birthweight 1.14 kg, and birth length 38.0 cm; her weight, length, and head circumference measurements were appropriate for age. She was born to a 32-year-old woman with hypercholesterolemia and a pre-pregnant BMI of 18. This was her second pregnancy; she and her husband also have an 20-month-old daughter.
