Name: Trupti



hi archie,

i am 35W.5D now, i went to the see my doctor today, she said I have lost some weight and the baby is around 2 kgs.. i m worried, please let me know what should be the idle weight of baby this time and at delivery.

I have C-cestion planned after 37 weeks on 4th jan as I am having GD. I am on a GD diet, please let me know if I can eat something which will increase baby's weight in next 10 days and also sugar will be under control.

Trupti.

Trupti,
Let me be honest, I don't like C-section choice because of GD,it is absolutely not the need unless things arise and direct in that manner.

nonetheless you loosing weight is lot becuase of strict diet and nothing else. If on insulin it would make it worse.

baby is little over 4 pounds and I would recommend you to to all the way till EDD because you baby will be of normal weight otherwise inducing or C-section in 37th week or around is likely to result in low weight baby.

It may not be possible but can you find other Dr. for opinion, I think lot of rush is going on in your case.


Normally if not controlled GD could result in macrosomic (large) baby but your situation seems going in other direction. I think its solitarily from strict diet and not because of you or something wrong with metabolism, sometime I like lineant Drs. who get concerned but don't get that alarmed just monitor case more close:-)
