I'm 34 weeks pregnant and my baby's weight is currently 2 kg, is this normal? I'm wondering if it's possible for my baby to gain up to 2.6 kg in the next 3 weeks. What steps can I take to help increase my baby's weight?

It is unlikely for the baby to gain 2.6 kg in just 3 weeks, but steady weight gain is expected in the third trimester. To support healthy fetal growth, make sure you are eating a balanced diet rich in nutrients such as protein, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Additionally, staying hydrated and getting regular prenatal check-ups can help monitor your baby's growth and development.
