    My daughter in law is due in about 4 weeks and at her appointment yeseterday, her doctor said her baby weights only about 4 pounds. Im so scared!! Its my first grandbaby. Is she not eating properly? The doctor said something about taking the baby early? why would they do this. Doesnt the baby gain weight in the last few weeks. She was very very sick her first 3 months and didnt gain much weight, one month she put on 25 pounds. She looks normal to me. IM just really concerned. I always had big babies. Will she be developed good enought?
