The normal fetal length at birth, measured from the top of the head to the heel of the foot, is typically between 19–20 inches (48.2–50.8 centimeters). However, a range of 18.5–20.9 inches (47–53 cm) is also considered within the typical range.
Therefore, the "normal fetal length at birth" refers to the length of a newborn baby. This measurement helps healthcare providers assess the baby's overall health and development.
