baby is too small...

Hi moms-to-be, I recently had a check-up with my OBGYN, and they mentioned that my fetus seems to be smaller than expected for this stage of pregnancy. Needless to say, this news has left me feeling quite anxious and worried about the health and development of my baby. I can't shake off this feeling of concern. can this lead to my baby stops growing? Has anyone else experienced something similar during their pregnancy? Did your baby's size end up causing any complications or was everything okay in the end? I would really appreciate hearing from other moms who may have gone through similar situations or have any relevant experiences to share. Your insights and advice would mean a lot to me during this stressful time.

Hi, Don’t worry too much. Eat more beef, avocado, milo and durian. My baby was small until the last trimester. At Wk35, she was scanned to be 2kg only. Doctor say we might need to induce cause he was afraid baby not getting the nutrients from me. In the end, we went for some detailed scan and there were no blockages, so we waited to see. Finally water bag burst and she came out herself at Wk36, weighing only 1.995kg. She still fattened up after birth. As long as baby growing fine and eating well, don’t worry too much. Now she is almost 2yrs old. Always on the more petite side - 10kg. But super active and chatty. Just follow through with the required checks and trust the process.
