donno what to do to increase the weight!
am worried....
vidya Roma replied. Vidya,
Your baby wt. seems to be little less as per the 33rd week. I am hardly gaining any weight hence I also had an ultrasound done in 32nd week and baby's wt. was 3lbs 10ounces. I was told that the baby falls in 40th % wt while average is 50%. But doctor told me that's fine. Nothing to worry as 40% is OK. You can check with your doc. the % where your baby's wt falls. You will be surprised to know that I am in 34th week and have gained only 12 lbs. WHat to do, GD is to be blamed I guess.
It is true that babies gain lot of wt. in last 8 weeks. Hope your next ultrasound shows better wt. Take good rest too.I have also heard many Indian ladies delivering healthy 5-6 pound babies. SO don't worry.
bye & let us know what doctor said. Take care

Thank you girls for your reassuring words...my doc. asked me to come for another visit in 2 weeks.she said that this weight is not normal and if the baby's not gaining weight it means its in danger blah blah blah......so I was completly upset....

vidya Geetu replied. Vidya, your baby still have enough time to gain weight so don't worry..
I will give you one recipe try this..
in lot of desi gee put sone Aatta & cook until its light brown( on simmer flame).. put lots of dry fruits and keep it on sim flam for 7-8 minutes.. make sure you don't burn it.. ( you can add dry fruits little early too) when you see that gee is starting to seperate put some suger in it.. then u can store it and eat whenever and as much as you want through out day..even after delivery..
hope this will help..
take care AB replied. Hey Shannu & Vidya.

Vidya u r really more experienced than all of us and U shudn't be the one worrying. you guys have another 6/7 weeks to go and baby's weight will increase to a considerable amout. And also who said small is risky or abnormal.
Anything above 5 pounds is completely normal , a lot depends on ur maternal side genes, find out how heavy u were or or sibblings were from ur mom, the same trend will follow.
My friend gave birth to a 5lbs 12 ounces baby 3 months back. She infact was over weight during her pregnancy, so mother gaining weight definitely does not mean ur baby is growing. It all depends on what kind of food u r eating, right nutrients.
BTW, this baby is completely normal and is growing steadily, she ha sa very easy vaginal delivery. infact smaller the baby lesser the pain in labor.

So don't confuse urselves. God will give us the best.
Take care and relax

I had my doc's appnt y'day, internal examinations have begun. I also had the bacterial infection test done. internal exams r so uncomfortable, from now I go for weekly check ups.

the doc says there is a chance I mite deliver by the end of jan!

ok mommies, enjoy..
AB Shannu replied. Hey Vidya....
Dont Worry da.... I also did have the scan and got to know that the baby is around 1.5 kgs..... Its alrt...we have still got time..... The Radiologist told me that....\";The baby starts growing rapidly after the 32nd week\"; at abt 1/2 pounds per week... Even I was worried abt the same since the Doc was concerened abt the weight gain.... He has advised me to increase my calorie intake.... U do have high calorie foods....Take a lot of milk and Eggs and since U R not in the GD category... U have other choices too.... So DO EAT WELL..... Ok?And Dont worry... .God Willing everything will B just fine with our babies....
Thats it for now...Take care...With lots of Love and Prayers
Shannu
