Fetus Size Matters

• Baby fetus at 28w2d We were told today that our baby fetus size is small. As of today after our Antenatal check-up, our baby is approximate 930g. According to the doctor (not OBGYN Specialist), the size of our baby fetus should be approximate 1.1kg ideally. We were advised that this growth could be because: - Baby naturally small (Genes/Parents) - Baby might be diagnose with down sydrome - Mother dietary After hearing from the doctor, I did a self research and find out that the ideal size for our baby fetus is not 1.1kg but 1kg. I know it's differences is only by 100g but 1kg is alot closer to 930g than 1.1kg. Can anyone here enlighten me? We are both trying to not be totally affected by the doctor's advice. The doctor could be right, but the the doctor could also be wrong. The tolerance of an accurate ultrasound proven to be in a window of 2-4weeks. #advicepls

Hi, my baby was estimated to be small too. It was consistently small from my third trimester onwards, I rmb she was estimated to be 2kg at Week 36. Some mummies ate avocados, eggs, durians, chicken essence and it managed to help the baby to grow more, but sadly it didn’t work for me. At the end, the doc decided to induce birth at Week38 because it’s better for my baby to come out, than to stay in the womb when it’s not absorbing nutrients or growing. Baby was delivered at 2.3kg (3rd percentile) and after 2 months, she is now 4.5kg (25th percentile) So no worries, there’s nothing very bad about the baby’s size. ☺️
