I hated yesterday. I went in thinking that I might be having a big baby but looks like mine is small.... Might even classify as underweight. Am sick and worried. I have been eating well. Nutrition and quantity. My weight gain has been steady and normal as per expectation but she has not gained as much. She is a solid one pound less than what she should be. When I wad told, I wanted to cry. I feel like a failure. But what else can I do. I can only eat healthy food. She has take the nutrients from me. There is still two now weeks to go for due date and am trying to think of ways to increase all the nutrient content in my food. Lot more smoothies and fruits and spinach. I don't know what else to do. I feel helpless. My hubby cried in the doctor's office. Please please please let the readings be wrong. Please let her be normal weight.
I could see that even the doctor was puzzled. My stomach looks so big and he pressed in to my tummy and he could feel the baby all over the bump. He said that you feel like you are having a lot of baby there but some how the head circumference and abdominal circumference is showing the baby weight to be small. But he did say that it is OK for the baby to be within +/- 3 weeks of current week. Which brings her right in to the margin of normal growth. She might have just slipped in to the margin. I wish I was dealing with big baby fear than this depressing feeling. I want my baby to be healthy and happy. I want to give at least a good start. And I am failing at it.
