Need advice and reassurance, at my 33 week scan baby was weighing at 4lbs 11 I’m a bit worried I hope that’s a good weight my daughter was just below average when she was born and I’ve had a really bad experience with her with people constantly saying “aww she’s so small “ she’s so tiny” etc etc and cause of that I’ve been really stressed out with baby’s weight during this pregnancy
Any advice on how I can get baby’s weigh up ? Perhaps eat certain foods?

My little one weighed 5lbs at 34 and she is on the 49th centile which is bang on average so I think your baby is weighing fine x

Mine is 5lb 9 at 35 weeks so sounds just fine 😊

Sounds like an ok weight to me some people have smaller or larger babies that’s ok

Hmm what are other baby’s measurements? Just remember that those can be off by 5-10% depending on baby’s position, different machine, different sonographer. My baby weighted 4lbs 11 at 34 week scan but he’s quite long and has average head measurement, just his belly is on a smaller side.
I don’t think there’s any miracle foods unfortunately that can get the babies up to speed, all I will say is keep eating nutritious foods and balanced meals!

I wouldn't worry! My 32 week scan had baby at bang on 4lb. Got my 36 week growth scan tomorrow so will see how they're growing then.
My little girl was born at 36+2 weeks weighing 4lb11 so she was a dot.
Surely all that matters is they are healthy and growing and thriving once here 💞
