So I'm 31 weeks and 1 day and I went to the doctor today for a sonogram to see how much my son has grown & he is under weight ): They said he is a week behind & he only weighs 2 pounds. I just feel guilty because I feel like it's my fault, & I feel like I haven't been eating enough even though I eat all the time! What can I do to make him gain weight?

Thank you all! I will definitely be drinking milk shakes & eating lots of protein to try to get his weight up!

Im pregnant with twins and my little lady os under weight also but my boy is on the line. My antenatal scared the crap out of me telling me about steroids and early labour but the hospital told me not to worry as she isnt below the bottom margin :/

Most of the time it's not your fault. Sometimes it's just that for whatever reason the placenta isnt functioning as it should. He will take whatever he needs from you, even if you aren't eating well. They will most likely just monitor him closely to make sure he doesn't allow down anymore, if he does they may take him early.

I should try milkshakes as well I eat a little and I think my baby might be underweight as well but idk just incase im making me some . peanut butter.  The problem is that I don't like peanut butter lol

Stuff yourself with high protein foods, peanut butter, Greek yogurt, nuts.

My dr told me w my first he thought he was under weight n i felt the same way he told me the same ^peanut butter milkshakes and he also told me to eat greek yogart... I ate greek yogart and peanut butter and my son was 8.4 when born so he def wasnt underweight at all he was actually a 38 wks not 39wks according to the tests

Milkshakes with a lot of peanutbutter sandwiches
I was under weight but with the sandwiches and milkshakes i was able to gain 5 pounds in less then a week !
U could also put icecream in the shakes :)
Good luck
