IUGR ladies

Found out today DD is measuring 3 weeks behind. We will start going in x2 weekly now for NST and will repeat a growth ultrasound in 2 weeks. Hopefully in 2 weeks DD will have grown some. She has only gained 6 oz in the last 3 weeks. In 2 weeks I will be 35 weeks and my dr informed me that if they had to induce me my baby would have good odds and that sometimes babies are better out than in. Anyone else gone through this before? TIA!

    At my 25w and 26w ultrasounds, our baby measured 2 weeks behind (symmetrical).  The specialists say that 28w will be the "milestone" week and that measurements MUST be a certain way.  Over the next week, they will be doing special focused checks on baby's brain and heart.  In the meantime, I am on light bed rest.  At 28w, we will see how everything is going. It has been a very stressful past couple of weeks.  I hope our babies grow!

    Are you on bed rest?  Any tips from your doc on IUGR?

    I found out DD was IUGR when I was 35 weeks. Her head was 35 weeks the rest of her body was 31/32 weeks. I delivered at 37 weeks, I went in to labor on my own the day they were going to induce, to a very healthy 4lb 9 ozer. We had no NICU stay and she came home with us 2 days later at 4lbs 5ozs. She has done amazingly well  and is becoming quite the chunk. I know it is scary but know most all IUGR babies thrive once they are on the outside, honestly you would never have know now that we had issues she is just small for her age but developmentaly she is right with other babies her age. GL and feel free to PM if you need to talk.

    Thanks for your positive post, jesserenee.  That is good news.  Just found out today our baby is tiny- 3rd percentile:(  More tests on the way.  Do you have any links to reliable growth/percentile charts?

    I don't have any links, but do know that the u/s can be off a pound either way. They were only expecting K to be about 3lbs thru their growth measurements. I know it's hard but just try to think positive.
