Rapid fetal weight gain isn’t good for the baby or the mother. It increases the chances of needing a C-section and raises risks like gestational diabetes and complications during and after birth. So, what should a mother pay attention to when the fetus is found to be overweight?

Hello doctors of Vinmec hospital, I am currently 32 weeks pregnant. After an ultrasound, the doctor concluded that the fetus weighs 1.6 kg. Could you please tell me if this weight means my baby is underweight? How much should a 32-week fetus weigh to meet the standard? Thank you!
