Patient's question:
When I was pregnant with twins, I worried about the nutrition of the little ones. During pregnancy, I took quite a lot of supplements. At the time of delivery, I had a cesarean section, and both babies weighed over 7 pounds. My concern is about macrosomia (large for gestational age). I would like to ask if 40 weeks and 7 pounds 8 ounces is considered macrosomia?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in the early stages of pregnancy, the energy or trace elements needed for the development of the fertilized egg are very small. During pregnancy, even if a woman eats very little, it is sufficient for the development of the fertilized egg. Therefore, severe gastrointestinal reactions in early pregnancy do not require special concern. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Pay close attention to rest, adjust your mood, and do not drink cold water or drinks.
