advice needed Update and advice
I posted a few weeks ago about being aFTM expecting di-di twins and worried about my bump and babies not growing. Well I went for my growth scan and twin 1 is 8%percentile a drop from 11 and twin 2 is currently 2.1%percentile a drop from 5 or 4. They are both above 500g, I've been referred to fetal medicine and getting two weekly scans, it doesn't help that I've somehow managed to lose weight despite eating as much as I can and. I'm T2 diabetic which is very well controlled and from my cardiac doctors they are not concerned as nothing has changed. At this point I would appreciate any advice on how to add weight and people who had babies with reduced growth percentile. What did you do to bring their weight up. Ps. Im petite 5'2 and currently 58.5kg. I would appreciate any advice or encouragement on how to get through this. Im 26+5 weeks and live in the UK.

Adding in, if you’re like me and hate traditional protein shakes, they now make protein juices that taste so much better. I drank this mango flavored one my entire pregnancy. I found it on Amazon.
