Had my scan yesterday and baby weight is slightly less than what they expect at 36 weeks, doc didnt seem too worried but im stressing. Only few weeks left now. What can i add to my diet to help baby gain in this last stretch?
I was worried about low weight near the end too. I added an extra glass of milk, eggs and dry fruits daily. Baby gained nicely in the last weeks, so dont panic this late.
Dont stress beta, the last month is when they grow the most. Eat well, rest and let the scans reassure u. The doctor will tell u if anything actually needs attention.
At 36 weeks my doctor told me to up my protein, milk and good fats like nuts and ghee in moderation. She said the last weeks are when baby packs on weight fast anyway. But she tracked it by scan, not by how much I ate.
Just be a little careful, eating tons doesnt directly add baby weight and can spike sugar. I had GD so I balanced it under my doctor's diet plan. Please get ur doctor to guide the food at this stage.
