Problem in gaining weight
I am 26 week pregnant with low lying placenta, recently my gynecologist advised me complete bed rest, at the start of my pregnancy my weight was 45 kg and since my bed rest period it has been stucked to 52 kg. Before pregnancy it was difficult for me to gain weight as I think I have very fast metabolism. But now as I am not gaining any weight inspite of eating well, I am worried if my baby is gaining weight or not. And what can I do to increase weight as I am on bed rest. Please suggest
