My cousin had a baby with low weight and now im a bit scared coz im in my second trimester and im quite thin myself. Just trying to understand what actually leads to it so i can be careful. Pls share if u know.
My doctor mentioned several reasons, poor maternal nutrition, high BP, smoking exposure, placenta issues or early delivery. She tracks baby's growth at every scan to catch it early. Good nutrition and regular checkups are the main things in our hands.
Nutrition really matters here, my dietician balanced my diet so baby grew well despite my sugar issue. Eating enough of the right things is key. Please follow your doctor's diet plan and growth checks.
My baby was on the smaller side and my gynac monitored growth very closely with extra scans. So if there is any concern, dont skip those follow up scans. Early monitoring made all the difference for us.
