I'm in my last trimester, and my baby's growth scans show a slight slowdown. Is it normal for the baby's growth to slow down a little bit as I get closer to my due date? I'm worried.
I don't know about baby's growth slowing down but my weight gain certainly isn't because of all the mithai I'm craving! My doc said baby is fully cooked now and just putting on final fat. Focus on eating healthy ghar ka khana and stay relaxed.
Haan, actual growth slightly slows down but movements and kicks are what u need to watch out for. Normal thoda space kam ho jata hai na body me, toh kicks feel different. But any doubt, just ask your doctor directly, ok?
In the final weeks, the baby's rapid growth might look like it's slowing on the charts, but they are just preparing for birth. Since we went through so much to get here, I kept asking my gynac for reassurance every week. Please talk to your doctor for peace of mind, it is always the safest option.
My gynac told me that in the 9th month, baby just gains fat, so the growth isn't as dramatic as the second trimester. I was so worried during my last scan, but doctor said it's totally normal. Just track the kicks carefully.
Usually, the growth rate of weight gain slows down slightly in the last couple of weeks as the baby is fully formed and there's less space in the uterus. But any change in baby's growth should be monitored by your doctor. Your regular ultrasound scans and gynac's measurements are the only safe way to confirm everything is fine.
Listen, baby doesn't stop growing, there is just no space left in the tummy for big movements. But if you feel baby movements have decreased, don't sit around waiting. Go straight to your doc and get a scan done.
