Baby weight is 2.6kg at 37 weeks 5 days
I had USG today in my ANC and doctor said that the growth is as per 35 weeks 2 days and the AFI level is 8 which was 9 on Jan 5th. Other parameters are normal. cervix is firm and OS is closed. What is the reason for small baby? And my placenta was initially low lying and and now the placenta is Grade 1 maturity with no evidence of placenta previa. I am advised to have hermin once daily from 5th Feb (last week). In report the Due date is mentioned as 16th March but doctor said we will be waiting till 24th Feb. I am afraid if the baby is healthy and worried about the well being. Or is it within normal range (I mean the baby's weight). thank you

At 35 weeks approximate baby weight should be 2kg , on an average baby gains around 200 gms in one week . AFI levels of more than 5 are considered normal . So you should get an ultrasound with color Doppler studies after 2 weeks, If baby weight is more than 2.5 kg , AFI more than 5 and Doppler studies normal and blood pressure is normal you can weight till your due date according to last menstrual period that is 9 months and 7 days. Due date of third trimester ultrasound is not significant . But if baby weight is less , or AFI is less than 5 or any other complications then you may need to get your delivery done at 37 weeks.
Hermin are basically essential amino acids, so take a high protein diet
