Doctor's advice to eat high protein?

Question

Has anyone else been advised at 34 weeks to focus on high protein diet? My doctor didn't explain why she gave this advice and I am just curious if anyone had thoughts. Is a higher carb diet more likely to trigger something? Thanks!

Answer

The protein is to help baby grow as the third trimester is the rapid growing phase for baby. It will help with brain and muscle development.

Answer

My midwife told me carbs tend to make bigger babies and protein tends to make leaner babies. She never said no carbs just make sure your focusing on a good amount of protein.
