Low foetus weight at 36 W
I had scan yesterday at 36W2D
And foetus weight is only showing 2.16kg+/-215gm. Other parameters like AC and HC are lagging (3percentile)
I had previous ultrasound at 29 weeks where weight was 1.1kg. That time also parameters were low but within range.
I have also got IUGR remark for which I am extremely panicking. This was the first time mild uterine artery resistance is mentioned.
I was already taking ecosprin75 daily since very beginning.
I have borderline GD for which I take metformin 500 thrice., and I am on strict diet since 5 th month.
Doctors May want to induce me at 38 weeks, I have 14 days in hand how can I work on increasing baby weight to as much as I can?

Frankly it is too late to do much for the baby's growth .
You have borderline GDM.
Abdominal circumference and head circumference are at 3 %ile.
You are at 36 weeks.
I would have given a few doses of Aminodrip, give some High protein high carbohydrate diet (monitoring blood sugar levels) and monitor the condition of the baby. I would have done a Caesarean at 38 weeks.
