Last scan mein they said baby weight thoda on the lower side for my week. Honestly im a little tense, doc said don't worry but mera dimaag nahi maan raha. Anyone whose baby weight was less, what did u do to improve it?
Actually, I researched a lot on this because my baby's weight was low in the 7th month scan. My doctor explained that as long as blood flow in the doppler is normal, minor weight variations are totally fine. She told me to focus on high protein like paneer, eggs, and dry fruits.
Sending you a big hug, dear. I remember holding my little one who was born quite tiny, and I felt so guilty. But they are so resilient and grow so fast once breastfeeding starts. You are doing great, just feed them love first.
With twins, low weight was my constant nightmare, like double the stress. But honestly, babies grow in sudden spurts. Just eat your protein and don't expect them to be sumo wrestlers at birth, they catch up fast outside!
Yaar, don't take too much tension, seriously. Actually, my baby's weight was also showing less in the 32-week scan, and I got super stressed. But my Pune gynac told me to just chill, eat lots of boiled eggs and sattu, and baby came out perfectly fine.
I had the same issue and immediately booked an extra consult with my senior gynac and nutritionist at my hospital. They gave me a specific high-protein diet chart and monitored me every two weeks. Definitely ask your hospital's dietitian to guide you based on your reports.
Trust me, once they are out, you will spend all day carrying them and wish they were a bit lighter on your back, haha! My girl was tiny on scans but came out perfectly healthy. Just follow the doc's diet plan and get some sleep while u still can.
On my pregnancy tracker app, it showed baby's weight can vary widely based on genetics too. I tracked my daily protein intake on it and it really helped keep things in perspective. Check with your doctor if they want u to add a protein powder supplement.
I'm currently in my 24th week and my doctor also mentioned the baby is slightly on the smaller side. It's so nerve-wracking, right? Has anyone else's doc recommended any specific milk or protein drinks for this?
Look, every pregnancy is different and low baby weight can sometimes mean the placenta needs checking. Don't rely on random advice online for this. Please get a proper scan done and let your gynac decide if any treatment or bed rest is needed.
I threw up till my 8th month and was so scared the baby wouldn't grow. But my gynac said baby takes what they need from our body anyway. Don't force yourself to overeat, just have small, high-protein meals whenever u can manage.
Oh god, I completely get how scary this feels, I spent so many nights crying over those scan reports. Please take a deep breath. Often the weight is just an estimate and can be off by 10-15%, so try not to stress too much.
