just did my gynae check today. my lil boy was sleeping (and he tossed once during the scan).
he's 35weeks at 2.6kg. what was worrying was that 2 weeks ago, he was 2.5kg. so he only grew 100g??
i raised that concern to my gynae. she said that the weight is an estimation only. plus minus 500g. told me not to worry.
someone said to drink fennel tea to increase breastmilk production? i checked with my gynae, she said drink after birth only. she's very pro natural birth, she said "dont't anyhow drink to induce early labour !"
i hope my lil boy comes out at 39 weeks though. earlier better? hahah
Hi Mamasesame,
I went for my 34 weeks check up. My gynae did a placenta check. My princess is 2.4kg. 2 weeks ago, she was 2kg.
Actually many people mentioned that the weight increase doesn't really matter, the best is between 2.8 - 3kg, especially for first pregnancy.
My gynae says weight increase by how much does not really matter, what is most important is the placenta must be stable and functioning in good order - to ensure that our baby have a transistion of what he/she needs.
So do not worry too much - it's just an estimation. As long as the placenta is healthy, no need to let baby come out earlier than the EDD.
Hugs,Princess CC
