Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
At 27-28 weeks, a baby weight of 1000gms is normal. The supplements of L- Arginine that have been prescribed do help in increasing the placental circulation and decrease the chances of an IUGR baby. Taking a high protein diet will be helpful.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
