IUGR

Anyone had that ? My baba measures 3weeks behind,had the same problem with previous pregnancy,don't know what to think

Baba?

If you had this with your last pregnancy, you should at least have an idea what to think or expect. What happened with your prior situation? What does your doctor say?

I'm 28+2 but baby measures 25 weeks, with previous baby I found out after she was born she stopped growing completely at 32w induced at 38 weighing only 4oz something and really tiny like premature babies, got a scan tomorrow to see what's going on with my little girl and I just hope everything is fine. I also have a small bump like with my 1st and not putting much on weight so it might be the same issue. I don't even know what caused iUGR with my 1st cause they told me they didn't know ...

Weighing 4oz? That's a typo, obviously... right?

If your baby has IUGR, I would assume your doctor would be on top of it all?

I'm at risk because I have pre-e (although it doesn't appear to be happening) and I get weekly ultrasounds to check for growth because of it.  Your question is probably better suited for your doctor and not us.

She weighed 2 kilograms so I think it's 4 oz?(only know kg),length around 40cm. I only wanted to know if anyone had the same issue and how it turned out. You would think my midwife would be on top of it but with my 1st they weren't and now they don't seem to be. Every time i got for my app i have a different midwife. I went hospital about 1-2 weeks ago and they told me I measure fine and my muscles are just tight and I'm carrying her in the back whatever that means. Now this Tuesday I had 4d growth scan because wanted to see how my baba looks and the lady said that she's small but still within 28 weeks,today my midwife said she's behind and measures 25w so referred me for a scan. So I'm really confused

4lbs-2 kg checked it,not good with pounds, ounces

It sounds like you need to see an obstetrician, not a midwife. Midwives are only good for low risk pregnancies without complications. You need a doctor, probably a maternal-fetal specialist. You should be getting regular growth scans, and prepare yourself that you are at risk for another early delivery.

P.S. Why do you keep calling the baby a baba? Like a baby bottle?

I'm going hospital tomorrow for a growth scan, I just hope everything is fine I just want her to be healthy

She's very cute. I think you need to take a more aggressive stance with this. Stop waiting to see what the midwives say, and be more proactive and insist on a specialist, and start googling and doing some reading on this issue.

I've read a lot about it since I left the clinic, in fact I can't stop reading about it cause too worried. It's like here in UK they don't take people serious I'm gonna be on to them now,I feel like I have to

.. new doctor?

NatureLovers

Ah, you're in the UK. I'd be concerned, as based on some reading I've done they don't take this kind of stuff very seriously, and you have to fight to see an obstetrician and to be delivered by a doctor, as they try to force most women into midwife led units regardless of risk factors. There's been a lot of mother/baby deaths due to this practice, so I'd be very forceful. Good luck!

joannazt

Yup that's the way UK is with healthcare.Midwifes deal with almost everything and babies are delivered only by them unless there are complications during birth. Every app different midwife u lucky if you have the same midwife through the pregnancy. At least the one that I've seen today took it seriously,unlike the others in the past. With my 1st they told me at 38 w "ur baby is really unwell u need to deliver now" but they didn't do nothing with the fact that she stopped growing from 32w which Midwifes must seen cause obviously measured my bump at every visit. They never even told me that she's not growing only found out after delivery. Ridiculous

MusicFanatic

I'm sorry, that's frustrating. Maybe sit down with them next time and see if they'll explain things to you more? So that you're not as confused and understand what they're doing? I dunno. Don't forget that measurements can be off, too, in ultrasounds.  Hopefully that's the case and everything is OK in there

joannazt

Thank you I hope everything is ok too. I don't want to be worried all the time it's not good for the baby and I still got 12 weeks to go. I'm already stressed cause everyone comments how small my bump is and that I'm probably not eating right when I do. I wish I could just relax and don't worry about nothing

I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead. She is in the birth position. My pelvic bone is extremely sore.

joannazt

How far along are you ? Here in UK they allow 2 weeks ahead or behind.
