need to gain weight

Im towards the end of my pregnancy and would really like to try and gain some more weight so that hopefully i can get the babys weight up about two pounds....two weeks ago the doc scared me at the ultrasound bc they claimed baby was only 4 pounds when i was 35 weeks soi posted and you guys helped me feel a lot better and less stressed but now my hubby is obsessed over my weight and jusg wants me to eat eat eat eat and i so constantly but im a small person so idk what to do. I got those vitamin protein shakes and drink two every night before bed that way the calories take over while im asleep but im noy gaining anything since then. But like i said i guess just for peace of mind i would like to gain some more weight before i go in labor the next few weeks, do you guys have any advice or tricks to gains so FAST weight? Anything is greatly appreciated. Thanks mommies!!

I heard that you can't trust the doctor when they say how much the baby weighs. My bf has two kids from another woman and they told her that both her kids would be about 6lbs.... nope she pushed out both over 9lbs.. I really wouldn't stress over it.

Smaller baby means less pain (: dont stress yuh dont want an obese baby! Plus your breastfeeding will definitely give the baby the proteins it needs
