Sometimes they just ask you to eat more protein to help with the growth. I used to eat double-egg rolls and paneer tikka when my doctor said we need to boost baby's weight. But definitely let your gynac guide you on the exact medical steps.
In our family, they say to drink warm milk with a little ghee for baby's strength. But for slow growth, you must trust your doctor's advice and regular scans. They will check if the placenta is working fine and guide you correctly.
I've heard this can sometimes just be due to late ovulation, so the actual weeks might be less than calculated. But it sounds stressful, so definitely check with your doctor to get the right picture. Sending you positive vibes!
My sister also had a scan where growth was a bit slow, so my mom made her rest completely and fed her fresh home-cooked meals. But please consult your doctor regularly. They will guide you if any extra care or medicine is needed.
Slow growth is something that only your gynecologist can evaluate properly after checking your scans. Please do not try any random remedies at home. Get a clear explanation from your doctor and follow their instructions carefully.
If the scan shows slow growth, don't panic immediately because sometimes conception dates are just slightly off. But you must follow up closely with your gynac. They might suggest a Doppler scan to check blood flow or advise some high-protein diet.
Keep your spirits high! Sometimes babies just take a little time to catch up. Make sure you discuss this closely with your doctor and eat lots of protein like paneer and eggs. 🌸
