Will the baby continue to gain weight after dropping into the pelvis?

After the baby has descended into the pelvis, weight gain usually continues, so it is recommended to control food intake. The specific analysis is as follows:

The term "baby descending into the pelvis" mainly refers to the period between 35 to 38 weeks of pregnancy when the baby gradually moves into the mother's pelvic cavity. Descent into the pelvis is not directly related to physical development. Once the baby has settled into position, its location generally remains fixed; however, the baby continues to absorb nutrients, so its weight typically increases. Additionally, after descent, pressure on the mother’s stomach is relieved, leading to improved appetite and increased intake of nutritious foods. This results in sufficient nourishment for the baby and further contributes to weight gain.

Pregnant women should manage their nutrient intake to prevent the baby from becoming too large and should engage in appropriate exercise to facilitate a smoother delivery.
