Pls if possible stop ur intake of carbohydrate for now until u deliver. U can take fruits and foods rich in iron. At 37 weeks scan show my babies weight to be 2.9kg i was told to reduce my intake of carbohydrate but i did not listen instead i listened to my bosy system and delivered my baby 40 weeks and 4 day at 3.8kg with serious tear.

Modupe · Answer

Yet I still had epistemology as the nurse said I wasn't pushing hard enough and dint want the baby to get distressed

Modupe · Answer

Yes reduce your carb especially frizzy drinks but at the same time the weight is an estimate and not exact baby weight cus the weight shown is inclusive of the fluid the baby is swimming in. For me, @36weeks scan show weight of 3kg but at birth @40 weeks, she weighed 2.9kg
