Patient's question:
At 31 weeks of late pregnancy, a thorough check-up revealed that the baby weighs only 1304 grams. Is this size smaller than normal? However, the doctor said nothing, and I don't know if I should eat more now?Doctor's answer:
At 31 weeks of pregnancy, a detailed check-up is conducted to estimate the baby's weight, which is roughly inferred based on ultrasound. It's not very accurate. As long as the biparietal diameter and femur length of the fetus are developing normally, there's generally no problem. Currently, the fetus is still in a phase where its weight is rapidly increasing. Therefore, it's important to focus on nutrition, activity, and rest. Usually, everything is fine. The above advice is for the question "At 31 weeks of pregnancy, a detailed check-up reveals the baby weighs only 1304 grams," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
