Question
During pregnancy, due to concerns about the nutritional needs of twins, the expectant mother consumed a large amount of supplements. After a cesarean section, both infants weighed more than seven pounds, raising concerns about whether they are classified as macrosomia. Are twins born at 40 weeks with a weight of 7.8 pounds considered macrosomic?
Answer
In the early stages of pregnancy, the energy and trace elements needed for embryonic development are relatively small, even if the expectant mother’s dietary intake is not sufficient, it can still meet the needs of embryonic development. Therefore, severe gastrointestinal reactions in the early pregnancy period do not require excessive concern. It is recommended to avoid spicy, stimulating and cold foods, get plenty of rest, maintain a good mood, and avoid drinking cold beverages.
