Im 30 weeks and at my last scan they said baby weight is slightly on the lower side. My MIL keeps telling me to eat more but i already feel so full all the time. What did u all do to help the baby gain weight properly?
My doctor said good baby growth comes from a balanced protein rich diet, enough iron and calcium, and your regular checkups, not from eating extra heavy. Things like dal, eggs, milk, nuts and greens really help. If a scan shows growth concerns, she will guide you specifically.
I had to be careful here because overeating sweet things just raised my sugar, not the baby's healthy growth. Focus on protein and balanced meals instead. Always check portion advice with your doctor, especially if sugar is a concern.
Dont fall for eat for two myths, it is about quality not quantity. Protein, fruits, milk and your supplements do the real work. If your gynac is happy with the growth on scans, you are on track.
Eat well and rest well, that is the simple secret. The baby grows on good nourishment and your peace of mind. Trust your scans and your doctor rather than worrying constantly.
