Since the doctor warned me Gaining too much weight, I have been always wondering how much is my baby’s weight.
I was afraid the baby had grown too huge. So I talked to her: “Hi, baby, mommy hope you will not become a super-size baby. Around 7 pounds will be ideal for you. ” But at the same time, I still follow the guidelines of Healthy Eating and Special Concerns, eat frequently, and pay great attention to give my baby a balanced diet. The only thing I did differently was cutting down the consumption of carbohydrate and my weight gaining was slowing down dramatically (see Gaining too much weight).
During one routine checkout, I asked the doctor about the fetal size. She measured my tummy by palpation and estimated the baby was around 6 and 1/2 pounds.
So small?! I was quite surprised, since my tummy seemed to show bigger than other mothers’.
The doctor ordered an ultrasound to double check.
And she was right on the money! Yesterday’s ultrasound result showed the baby was exactly 6 pounds and 8 ounces.
I was quite relieved to hear the result. Meanwhile I was also wondering where those weight went? Obviously I gained the weight on myself. It means I will need a good workout in the future…
