IUGR?

mamathompson7

At my anatomy scan I had lots of problems (not sure if y'all remember), and IUGR was one of them. Since then, we have had a growth ultrasound every 3 weeks. We started in the "under 5" percentile, then 7th, then 12, then down to 9, and today she was down to the 5th %. She is slacking off on her growth curve, and the MFM is thinking that we will need to deliver at 37 weeks, but will determine that in 3 weeks at our next growth scan. Today she is approx 2 lb, 12 oz, when she should be a little over 4 pounds.

 Is anyone else dealing or has dealt with IUGR and an early delivery? I am worried that even if she maintains this growth rate, she will only be about 4 pounds when she is born, and it scares me to death!

Just hoping someone else who has dealt with this can give me some insight or tips!

Also- 37 weeks is May 18, my son't 1st bday is May 17..... just shy of Irish twins, lol!

I was induced at 37 1/2 weeks due to IUGR and everything went very well. She was small but healthy, and we went home after 3 days. She actually ended up being bigger than they thought by a whole pound! Good luck!

No advice but I will continue to pray for you both.

I had a single umbilical artery with my son and was monitored for IGUR.  The last month or so was play it by ear every day.  I had a BPP each week and NST 2x per week.  At the 36week u/s the MFM estimated him at 5lb 10oz and cleared him

I am a little late, just saw this post, haven't been bumping too much lately! DD was severe IUGR. We also started having issues at our anatomy scan, but she kept dropping off the charts and was delivered at 31w4d. That's great that your LO went back up, s
