Patient's question:
I am 30 weeks pregnant with twins. Today at the prenatal check-up, the doctor said the baby is small, less than two weeks smaller than expected, and suggested I receive nutritional fluids. I declined and said I would wait two weeks for a follow-up check-up. Why is the baby smaller when my weight has increased? At 24 weeks, during the 4D ultrasound, the baby was one week smaller. Will this affect the fetus? What foods are most effective for increasing fetal size?Doctor's answer:
Considering the situation you described, it is recommended to include more protein-rich foods such as fish, beans, iron-rich chicken liver and lean meat, and jujubes in your diet. It is advised to rest well, avoid overexertion, undergo regular prenatal check-ups, monitor data on fetal growth and development, maintain proper nutrition, and take folic acid, calcium, and iron supplements. Be mindful of fetal movements and always stay in a positive mood! The above suggestions are for this issue, and it is hoped they will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
