Baby girl not gaining weight at 31wks, prayers needed♡

My baby girl has been struggling to gain weight, now at 31wks she is 3pounds barely and is in the 6 percentile. High risk dr says I won't be going full term.  They will go in an get her 37-38wks. I will have extensive ultrasound every week, in two appts they will let us know if they need to get her sooner than 37weeks. The longer they wait the risk of stillbirth goes up, which is terrifying.  We are very concerned for her, just praying alot. Any other mom's going through this? Or heard of this?

Hey lady you and your baby will be fine. You can message me if you want cause my 4year old girl was the same way. She was born at 32weeks and weight 2lbs 15ozs. She is doing great and for the longest time in the 3rd percentile.  Now she is in the 80th percentile. I can give you tips on what I did once baby came.
