hi all..

i am 37 weeks pregnant and had my ultrasound this morning..the radiologist told that baby’s bones,head,etc are fine for his intrauterine age butthe weight is 3 pounds less than what it should be at this stage i have gained 14 kgs during my pregnancy which i think is fine..i take milk,yoghurt,fruits,meat regularly..where have i gone wrong? what changes should i bring in my diet to make the best use of the final 2-4 weeks i am left with ? plzzzzzzzz help !

Congratulations!!! Try to eat less junk food (if you do at all) and keep on eating the healthy food. That way it all goes to the baby. Eat bananas and avacadoes (if they are available where you live). . By the way the ultrasound predictions of weight etc are not 100% accurate. Are you in a country other than Pakistan? If so, the western charts are different than others and our babies are usually petite. Ask the doctor too as others suggested and don’t worry. Insha Allah all will be fine. just pray and congratulations. At 37 weeks you arenear and babies do put on more weight in teh final weeks. As for me, I put on only 20 lbs (9-10 lilos) for my son and only 13-14 lbs in case of my daughter and was convinced both would be born very underweight (I was very sick both times, henceteh less weight gain) but both were born above average weight. Let us know how much the baby weighs and all the nicedetails when he/ she comes along. Remember 6 lbs at least (2.7 klios) is fine for a baby.
