Re: baby's weight during pregnancy
It sounds like you've been taking care of yourself, thats the most important thing! Talk to your doc about the size of the baby and see if your doc has any concerns. When a baby is too small, its called IUGR - Intrauterine Growth Restriction. It can have any number of causes, the most typical is insufficient uterine arteries. I had this and was put on "aspirin therapy" - one baby aspirin a day, this thins your blood a little bit so the baby gets more blood flow from the uterine arteries. It COULD also just be that your baby is small. Talk to your doc about it. And best wishes to you and your little one!
