    Hi All,

    I am 32 weeks and doc said the baby is little under grown. Her weight is 3.12 pounds.

    I have a follow up appointment after two weeks. Please let me know, what should be eaten to increase her weight.

    Looking forward for your helpful replies.

    Thanks,
    sweety

    Hi Sweety,

    Congrats on your pregnancy. IMO, 3.12 pounds is a decent weight at 32 weeks. You can expect the baby to add 4-6 pounds if you go till 40 weeks. I would suggest you eat healthy and excercise regularly. All the best.

    regards,

    Thank you very much iIlite and JGVR for your soothing words. I have started to take protein high foods since yesterday.

    Taking milk for 3 times, taking mixed lentil soup, nut bars and more water. I have a follow up ultra sound in next two weeks. Hoping to see baby's weight gain by then.

    hi sweetyk, make sure to eat a balanced rich food for last few weeks as calorie needs are expected to rise in 3rd trimester. I have seen cases of my friends who maintained perfectly normal weight gain during pregnancy and still ended up with babies with below normal weight...
    I really dont think you need to worry abt weight of baby bcoz there is no way to know the actual baby weight when it is in the womb still..
    its a different thing if your weight was more than normal...thats when u shud actually get worried.

    Hi Sweety,

    I am also in the same boat as you. My Doctor has given me one powder Argin to be taken twice a day and she says it will increase the licor content and also baby's weight.

    Eating nuts will increase the baby weight. Also it's very healthy choice to have in pregnancy.

    Thank you all very much. I had a follow up ultra sound yesterday at 34 weeks 1 day and baby's weight increased and now she falls is 17th percentile which is normal.

    cheers,
    sweety
