I'm am beyond stressed right now. I went to my ultrasound appointment yesterday, and baby girl is underweight. They believe that I'm not eating enough. But due to the ultrasound everything is working properly. Most people say their eating for two but I'm not. My eating habits haven't changed since I got pregnant. What should I do? I'm terrified of having a premature baby, especially with this being my first baby.
Yeah true. & you may not need to eat a lot. I didn't eat much & still gained 50lbs. Just pray & let God work it out.
@babymillersmomm, I looked up some healthy meal replacement shakes online so I will give it a try.
@dang_dridri, My doctor is 45 minutes from my house. They want me to come up there Monday to talk to a Dietary Specialists. I'm not going because that doesn't mean she's going to fix my problem. God has the last word!!!
Try not to stress that can cause more harm ... baby feels what you feel... find something for you and your SO other to do that is relaxing ... eat what you can ... maybe supplement with shakes (meal replacements) ... but try not to worry !!! Think positive .... *sending positive vibes your way*
My son is apparently underweight too. Weighing a week behind but yet I have gained 15lbs how does that work. I wouldn't be too worried. My eating habits have not changed either
@texasbama that's what I said! & girl I'm sure the doctors had told me this LOOOOOOONNNGGG list of things we were at risk for because they're identical, I'm young, I'm small, & I'm black. . .I went the whole pregnancy with not one complication (didn't even get GD) & wasn't put on bed rest but had a belly measuring 48.5 weeks. 😂 My best advice is don't listen to what could happen until it happens. I had so many breakdowns behind that nonsense.
@dang_dridri, lol Those dang doctors had me crying and everything. Wow it feels like yesterday you had them. Time is really flying.
@texasbama, I know! They had me thinking all of us were gonna die a few times. Lol & they're great! I can't believe they're a month old already.
@dang_dridri, Thank you because these doctor's can cause you to have a nerves break down. How are the boys doing?
@michelle2220, @momtosid @teetee0130 Thanks mommies for the support. Hopefully baby girl gets the show on the road soon.
Girl I was pregnant with 2 & had to force myself to eat. I didn't have an appetite at all I when I did I only ate few bites & was full. I didn't really start eating like I was pregnant until about 30 weeks & it still wasn't a lot. You're still kinda early in pregnancy so I wouldn't worry too much, I would only worry if they're still concerned towards the end, that's when baby gains most of their weight.
yes you still have lots of time.. babies usually grows faster in last few months or so.. nothing to worry.. I am very sure your girl will caught up soon..
I was in the same situation as you and my doctor ordered home health services for me to have a iv at home dispensing fluids and liquid foods. It made me gain 9 pounds but I have since lost that but at least I know we are not starving them. Sometimes it's just hard to eat some days. Wish you luck mama😊
honestly there is nothing to stress about especially right now. she still has a lot of time to grow
@momtosid, They have my SO and I very stressed. Hopefully baby girl decides to start growing soon because these doctors can put you on a rollercoaster ride, with this bad news crap.
at my 23rd week ultrasound she was underweight and at my 30 weeks she's now a little over. baby will get enough. are they doing another ultrasound to check weight
even my baby was measuring small but he caught up later in my pregnancy still they wanted to induce me at week 38.. if they would have left me without inducing I would have gone till 42 weeks coz I haven't had any signs of labor.. but each baby is different.. they go through growth spurts at different rate.. when they told me about this I started eating for more than two and still he weighed only 5 lbs 12 oz.. 😁 don't worry everything will be fine I have gone through this..
@dang_dridri, I'm going to eat what I can and continue to take my vitamins.
