Baby's weight

[bilbo86]

I have just been for a checkup with my midwife (32 weeks) and she commented that my baby is still very "boney" and hasn't yet started to put any fat on. She said that she wasn't worried at the moment however she felt that she should be starting to put some weight on by now. The fact she mentioned it has made me start to worry. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

My son was born at 34 weeks and was boney and not very fat yet weighed in at a very healthy 5lb 13oz so I wouldn't worry hun. Sometimes midwives say things without realising they can make you very paranoid when you are pregnant!

Thanks for that....I feel a lot better now! It is so easy to pick up on anything a midwife says and turn it into something bigger.
