At my last scan doc said baby weight is slightly on the lower side for 7 months and now im worried the whole time. im eating but maybe not enough? what did u all add to ur diet to help the baby gain. pls share.
You dont need fancy supplements yaar, simple things like peanuts, dates, milk and dal worked for me. I just made sure I ate every 2-3 hours instead of big meals. Ask your doctor before buying any expensive protein powder.
My doc told me protein is key in third trimester, so she asked me to take eggs, sprouts, nuts and full fat milk. She also said good iron and calcium help the baby grow well. Honestly the growth picks up a lot after 7 months itself.
Don't stress too much, baby still has time to put on weight in last weeks. I just added more dal, eggs, paneer and a glass of milk daily and both my babies were fine at birth. Your gynac will track the growth scan, follow what she says.
My amma used to give me ragi malt and lots of ghee in those months, and it really helped me feel stronger. But I always checked weight at the scan and the doctor was happy. Eat home food properly na, that matters most.
