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.

I'm a bit worried here and could use some advice. So, my doctor had me do a follicular study, and at 24 mm, I received an HCG shot. My husband and I timed our intercourse for three days, and from the fourth day, I started taking Susten SR 200 daily for 10 days. On the eighth day of taking Susten, I tested positive for pregnancy, and its still positive after finishing the 10-days course. I stopped the Susten three days ago, but now I'm feeling mild cramps in my lower abdomen. Im concernedcould stopping Susten cause a miscarriage? I'm currently taking folic acid and a cyst-go tablet because I have PCOS and some hormonal imbalance. Could you please give me some guidance? My last menstrual period was on the 17th of May.

Mild cramping after stopping progesterone (Susten) does not necessarily mean theres a problem, but you should keep an eye on the symptoms. The pregnancy will likely progress well if your body is producing enough progesterone naturally at this stage. However, please continue regular check-ups with your doctor to monitor your pregnancy and ensure that all is well.
