Hi Jill,
I am 33 weeks pregnant had an appointment with my OB yesterday and he said since our last visit (I was 31 weeks pregnant) my stomach has gone from 31 to 35 Centimeters. He is concerned that the baby is getting too big for me. (I am tiny 5'2.) I am scheduled for an ultra sound on Friday because he wants me to make sure that the baby has enough aminotic fluid. What I don't understand is that my weight gain has been minimul 22 pound so far at 33 weeks. I always assumed the mother's weight correlated with the amount of weight the baby gained. What could be attributing to the baby's growth? Should I be worried about the size of my stomach?
Thanks |
