underweight baby?

Question

So I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I've only gained 9 pounds since the beginning. My doctor has sent me to a specialist to check if my baby girl is at the right measurements and gaining weight. I'm not dieting in any way, I eat healthy but I also still enjoy Taco Bell and ice cream. I don't know how to gain weight so my womb nugget will gain weight. Anyone else in their 3rd trimester with possible IUGR? Or experienced moms with IUGR and had a healthy chunky baby? I need to put my worries away

Answer

I've not gained any weight and apparently baby is measuring fine! Healthy heartbeat too..

Answer

I gained like 53 lbs and my baby was only 6lbs 9oz, your weight gain doesn't always mean anything in regards to your baby's weight

Answer

My friend just gave birth a few weeks ago she only gained 20lbs in her pregnancy and had such a little bump everyone thought she was months behind and she gave birth to 8lb baby girl as long as doctor says your baby is good and is gaining weight count your blessings that you didn't put on to much weight.

Answer

I was very tiny while pregnant I only gained about 9 pounds my whole pregnancy the Dr's freaked out and made me see specialist but I ate so much it's just how I carried my daughter! I drank boost with protein twice a day to make sure I got extra nutrients for my baby. At 34 1/2 weeks they told me she stopped growing at 4 pounds and I needed to be induced exactly at 36 weeks. I ended giving birth to a very healthy 5 pound 14 oz girl! They said the ultrasound machine is not 100% accurate when it comes to the weight. Here's a pic of me the day I was induced and a picture of my daughter when she was born.
