Baby Weight at 29 Weeks: Is It Normal?

Question
hello,

I'm 29 weeks pregnant on my last ultrasound which was last week they said my baby is only 2 pounds 8 ounces I would think that my baby would be more.  Should i worry about it?  

Answer
Hello Rosa. No, this is within normal limits. However, now is the time from here to term when your baby will be putting on wt. You need to be sure that you are eating top quality food to give baby the best chance. You need to eat protein every two hours- nuts, meat, fish, chicken, eggs, yogurt. Stop eating ANY junk and fast foods- NO soda- diet or otherwise, NO candy, baking, sweets etc. Hope that helps- Cheri.
