IUGR/FGR, 1.9kg @ 35 weeks

Hi mummies, my baby is at the 3rd percentile weight & currently weighs 1.9kg at 35 weeks. Scheduled to be induced at 37 weeks. Been eating ALOT ever since in the hopes to gain baby weight. Any mummies who had similar experiences? Care to share how can I boost my baby weight & how heavy was your baby at birth? Needing moral support as I am really anxious & worried! Thank you! 💕

Hi mummy! My baby was all along at a steady weight until week 35 as well where her weight dropped instead of gaining. She was 2.2KG. Gynae asked me to spam all the bbt, durians, proteins and high calorie foods to pump baby. (I didn’t follow cause I scared GD) Anyways, I followed a mummy’s advice and had lots of eggs (without yolks, up to 12 eggs per day) and chicken breast till birth. In between I’ll still have my bbt and whatever I felt like eating for dinner. Baby came out at 2.6KG, 40.3Weeks. I was induced due to low fluid, otherwise my gynae allowed me to wait for baby’s cue. Also, as every pregnancy is different, above is based on mine. Mine was a low risk pregnancy.

Hi mummy! Thanks for sharing! Appreciate this! 💕 I’m glad & happy for you that your gynae allowed you to wait for baby’s cue! ❤️ I was not in favour to be induced at 37 weeks & wanted to push the induction to at least 39 weeks but my gynae doesn’t recommend due to concerns of further complications even though baby was gaining weight steadily. But I guess gynae knows best & act in the best interest of both mummy & fetus.
