@anessafraga, as far as gaining weight appropriately I'd suggest a variety of meats. fish is really good too because you get omegas.. I'd see if you can find any ensures or boosts they are protein shakes that should help you.. other then that there isn't much, and all in all I gained like 15lbs. but not till mid pregnancy..

That makes me feel better! I just hate how people come up and ask how far along I am I tell them their reaction is usually wow you don't look like that are you eating enough? That can't be healthy for your baby. like yes I do eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day I just end up throwing up half of it or more. It still makes me feel like im not doing enough for him though. I eat a lot of chicken is there any other meats that might help? @aphrodite2014

@anessafraga, I was the same way and had a healthy 8lb baby boy! take a deep breath mama and focus on the good. I'd say try to increase your intake anyway

I know that's what he told me that's why im getting another ultrasound to make sure he is still gaining weight like he is supposed to. Its just scary to think he might not be! @aphrodite2014

typically they have you try to add m9r calories to your diet and possibly protein shakes to help you gain weight.. but weight isn't everything only matters if baby is healthy

Thank you I will be praying for you too!

@anessafraga My daughter weighed 2 lb 1oz at 31 weeks :( I will be 34 weeks for the next ultrasound and I am praying she has grown more (they started noticing she was small and not growing well at 25 weeks) The shots go into the muscle of your butt, so they burn a bit but not too bad. I also do progesterone shots in my butt muscle every week, so it wasn't really a big deal for me. I am praying your little one grows well by your next appt!

Alright thank you! My son weighed 3 pounds according to my last scan I get another one in 2 weeks. The whole thing is making me nervous I just want my baby to be okay. Hopefully your scan comes back good and she will be able to stay in there longer! Do the steroid shots hurt a lot ? @boymomplusagirl

They watch you closely and keep checking growth. I get scans every 2 weeks because my daughter isn't growing well. They gave me steroid shots to help mature her lungs, because last time she was only meaning 8% for size. I have another one set for next week, and if she is 5% or less they will take her early, because she has a better chance outside than in. It is up to your doc.
