Small baby

Hi mummies i went to check up for 21 weeks ystd and the doctor told me my baby is quite small for 21 week, below healthy range and there is slightly small structure on baby brain it maybe because my baby is small or something else . Did anyone have a small baby before? How did you get it to be big and healthy? I cant have maternal milk because im anemia. Im very worried any advice on experience mummies? #pleasehelp #advicepls #pregnancy

The ultrasound is only an estimated weight. I had 2 small babies weighing 2.4kg only. 1 was born full term another was born premature. For the latter, I was admitted early at 34 weeks due to dilated cervix. Did an ultrasound and her estimated weight was a mere 1kg+ only so I ate 2 double cheeseburgers daily for 2 weeks (admitted that long until birth). Luckily I did not gained any weight but instead it went to her. I'm also anemiac but I still drank materna Anmum chocolate flavour once a day only. For the sake of my baby. If you're anemiac your gynae should know & may prescribe you some iron tablets to take.
