Update - Official IUGR diagnosis

During my last growth scan three weeks ago, baby was in the 17th percentile. Today he was in the 2nd.
I'm being admitted to l&d for monitoring and they will definitely take him out at 37 weeks (2 weeks from now) but possibly before if the nsts and bpps show any issues.
I know 35 weeks isn't that, that early but he's so small.

Update - after being monitored for 24 hours on a fetal heart rate monitor and getting another BPP and a contraction stress test, they told me that I could go home. Baby is going to come on 1/20 now, instead of 2/10, probably via c-section since he's breech.

Re: Update - Official IUGR diagnosis
I'm sorry you are going through this. Thoughts and prayers. Hope he is able to stay in for 2 weeks. ((HUGS))
I'm so sorry. I know you've been so worried about this. Remember that right now you are in the BEST spot to help him be healthy.
I think that IUGR babies make up weight spectacularly well after birth. Have your doctors mentioned that? I know he's tiny, but remember he's your son so he's also strong.
You've been on such a rollercoaster your whole preganancy. Although I know it's not the news you want to hear, it sounds like your baby is in good care. Sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way.

Are you in HRP? Maybe I'll stop by and say hi when DH wheels me to the nicu sometime? I'm still in my original room there until I'm discharged on Friday.
Let me know if there's anything I can help you with.

FWIW my friend had a 35wker with IUGR/Pre-E, he was only 4lbs when he was born. He's now 3yrs old and doing great, meeting all his milestones, etc.
You will both be in my thoughts and prayers the next few weeks!
