Fetal Weight and Growth
Hi I am 34 weeks and 2 days pregnant. Last week I got bp diagnosed and was put on BP medication and today in my scan doctor felt baby hasn't grown much for a week or 10 days. Doctor has started me with L Arginine. Baby's weight should have been around 2146 and mine is around in the range of 1450 to 2000.
Why is L Arginine used? To decrease BP or increase baby's weight?
What can be done to increase baby's weight?
