Overweight baby at week 30

Hi mummies, I do not have gestational diabetes and my normal weight is about 48kg and I'm now 55kg. Today's scan shows that my baby weighs 2.5kg at 30 week of my pregnancy. Doctor said I should not eat too much sweet stuff. I have recently been drinking pregnancy milk which might be the cause. Anyone knows how to decrease the weight of baby in womb?

There isn't any tips to decrease weight of baby. You are about 2 months away to due. Maybe just lessen of pregnancy milk or sugary stuff. Alternatively to eat in moderation. The baby's weight given are just a plus minus. Hence don't worry much. But, I guess your gynae advice you so in order to allow you to have smooth natural vaginal birth with minimal tearing (if any and atleast) because if baby's too huge be it based on weight or structure, you may not be able to do vaginal birth.
