Growth spurts?

Im currently 29wks+3 days. On my previous check up (28wks) my baby's weight was 1680g, with her abdominal circumference being 259mm..gynae mentioned that baby is on the chubbier side particularly in her tummy. I don't have GD, my glucose test results at 25 weeks came out normal and throughout my pregnancy I have had iron deficiency as well. There's been several occasions where I feel like I'm going to faint or almost faint (become nauseous and start seeing stars), especially when I walk too much/weather too hot/never eat. Could this be bcos of baby's size? Why is baby so big? Could this just be a sudden growth spurt and maybe she'll slow down..? I don't feel like I've been eating a whole lot for baby to be overweight. I'm 24 years old and this is my first pregnancy. ? I really want to have a natural birth so any dieting advice will be greatly appreciated..

Oh no.. it’s okay don’t stress yourself mummy! Stress and anxiety also adds to feeling that way. Pls do try not to skip your meals, even if it’s abit, try to eat something. And try to balance your diet. I’m 31 weeks and even though I control my diet, I have diabetes. Dietician says it might also be due to stress so try to calm yourself okay? If u need help u can consult your doctor about this and they’ll get someone to help monitor you and your diet. Jiayou! ✌🏼
