if I eat more will the baby gain weight?

Question

My doctor never told me to try this and I never asked her about it but my baby is measuring 1 pound less than he should and I was wondering if I eat more will that get more calories to him? No rude comments I'm not going to eat a bag of double stuffed Oreos every day lol maybe half a bag 😉

Answer

Well my dr put me on a diet to try to slow down my baby's weight gain.  So maybe the idea is there.

Answer

My baby measures a month behind. My high risk dr. Told me not to go home and eat more. They cant promise it will help baby. But it will increase mommy's weight.

Answer

My baby measuring small too. My Dr told me to try not to do too much And lay on my left side as often as possible. She said when I'm walking or doing any activities I'm burning calories which is taking away from baby. She also said no scary movies because that gets your heart racing and also burns calories. Haha

Answer

Try adding in the boost drinks/ ensure on top of your daily diet. That's what I have had to do this pregnancy.
