So I'm 33 weeks pregnant AND I only weigh 125 doctor says my baby is measuring small ,anybody been through this? What can I do to help me & baby gain weight. I wanna have a health chunky baby not a skinny one lol.

Yea Idk If prenatals have anything to do with it but I've taken mine my whole pregnancy and drink lots of milk and yogurt idk if that's why my baby is bigger and I'm only 4"11 175 lbs but If u see me you'll think I weight 130 the most I have nothing but a belly so I'm hoping it's all baby and I'm 27 weeks but my baby measures 29 weeks

Ok cool and I haven't been taking prenatals, it's been about 2 months

I was 98 when I got pregnant. At 36 weeks, when I delievered I weighed 129.
Doctor said I was also measuring small, and baby was measuring small. Wanted to send me to a bigger hospital to have a second opinion, but I was already in labor when I went in for my 36 week appointment. He came out 5 lbs 7ozs 19 inches and perfectly healthy.
Remember, a "chunky" baby isn't always good. Especially if you're small, like I am.
If I would have went to my due date I wouldn't have been able to deliever vaginally. I had two small tears on the inside wall and he was considered a premiee.

Idk If taking prenatal vitamins have anything to do with it but i take mines every night and my baby measures two weeks ahead

Maybe up your protein intake and eat foods that contain healthy fats?

I drink premier protien shakes inbetween meals they are pretty pricey i get a bulk amount from sams club but seen then at kingsoopers in a 4 pack... But they really helped me in both of my pregnancies they have 30 grams of protien and thats more than any other...also just try to eat 6 meals a day small meals but keep feeding yourself :) i eat alot of cheese sticks too
