Why do you think you are malnourished? Do you not have enough food or not able to tolerate foods or you have gut problem which impairs the nutrient absorption? Low body weight is not equal with malnutrition and it should not affect your brain function unless it is due to hormonal deficiency.

A 35-year-old female asked:
I had my baby on July 23rd. When I reached 10 cm my doctor wasnt at the hospital. I ended up holding her in for about 25 minutes before he arrived. Is there any way I hurt her or could have caused brain damage by not pushing even when I had the urge?
