help baby gain weight

Is it possible to eat more to make the baby get bigger?  Doctor said my baby was in the 24th percentile and wants another scan and 4 weeks

Babybump. My son was induced at 10 days late. So he was 41+3 he weight 3.1 kg. I think it is about 6 pounds 6. Not sure why they didn't induce me before....

Thanks for all the information ladies. I was a little concerned because all my other children were over 8 pounds and my last 10' 1".  I'm going to try to start eating fruits and vegetables in between my normal meals.  I am 22 weeks and 3 days and 2 weeks ago the baby weight 13 ounces .

I had another growth scan today i'm 36 weeks, and they told me baby had jumped from being in the 14th percentile to the 24th percentile, so they don't want to see me again until i deliver. Right now estimated weight is 5lb 9oz, and doc predicts a birthweight of about 6 1/2 lbs. But now i'm getting scared that he might get too big!! But he is all healthy and they're not worried anymore, so now its just a waiting game. I don't think i could bear to go the full 40 weeks, or even 41 weeks, i'm hoping something gets going just after 38 weeks.

Thankyou,how far alomg were you when you had your little boy?did he weigh much?they think my little girl will weigh 5lb something or 6lb.....after a 8lb 13 1/3oz baby and 7lb 7oz i told the midwode it will be like coughibg out a peanut lol...

I hope she will pick up some weight. My son was 5 centile and he is a healthy 10 years old now :) good luck.

I am 34weeks and 4days.My little Girl was completely off the centile chart a month ago...then i ate a ton of lindor chocolates that i got for mothers day and she has gone back to the 5th centile and weighed 4lb 3oz,It was a shock because she was on the 50th centile before that scan,but i am being scanned every 2weeks.
I am constantly eating but its the placenta that is the problem because i have low pappa

Babybump3 how far along are you?

[Babybump3]

It always worth a try!my baby is only on the 5th centile because the placenta does not work properly so they are induceing me in 3weeks.

Don't eat more eat better. Leafy greens and protein like chicken or fish. I'm not sure how many meals a day you have but try breaking them down. I eat 3 full meals and snacks in between.

Eating more will just make you put weight on. I have put on lots of weight but my baby is small. It is not even reaching 10 centile. But she is growing so i am not too worried at the moment.
