weight gain and measurements

[mom61508]

had a midwife appt today and I haven't gained any weight and my stomach is measuring the same as 3 weeks ago which is 29 weeks. Well I'll be 34 weeks on saturday. I guess I can be eating more I just don't know. I can't believe I haven't gained in 3 weeks I'm definitely concerned. My ketones were also very high. I'm just getting over the flu but did eat a little while I was sick it was the stomach flu thank goodness. I feel a bit dehydrated and I know that can cause high ketones BUT mine were extremely high I'm not sure what to make of all this. My advice was to eat more calories and drink more fluids.

ketones are from when your body has to burn fat quickly to provide enough energy. all you can really do is eat more and stay hydrated. then your body doesn't need to breakdown it's reserves.

i know about the ketones I guess my main concern is  no weight gain in the last 3 weeks and baby is about the same weight as well. The ketones perhaps are high at the moment because I'm getting over the flu and dehydrated *fingers crossed* that's what I'm hoping anyway but I'm definitely upping my calories!
