Hi..i need to know in 8th month of pregancy, bababys weight is only 1.7kg. and she is diabetic also.any complications for tht.

Yes: There are many complications for diabetics. Hopefully you're under care of a doctor trained in high risk obstetrics. If the baby is underweight, the doctor may add extra monitoring to make sure the baby is still gaining weight. If the baby is at risk for not gaining any more weight in the pregnancy, then at 8 months, the doctor may decide to deliver early. Ask your doctor for explanation.
