measure small

Im 34 +1 day..my baby girl measuring small but healthy. .She's only 4.3 lbs today..I have GD so I really watch my diet. And my doctor schedule my cs on jan 2nd instead of 7th.my question is can I pig out a little bit now so my baby can gain more weights?

My daughter measured small at my last until sound but Dr and I disagree she seems to be on point. If u are being monitored weekly to make sure placenta is feeding baby properly which is called a NST I would say eat more if ur comfortable but still be mindful of how much. I literally gained all my pregnancy weight in my last 2 months. GD poses a even higher risk of u gaining even more rapidly. But indulge in ur treats in moderation.
