IUGR come in!
JKTTC1
member
Please tell me about your symptoms!
I had PTL with DS and PIH. My water broke at 38.5 weeks and he was born with a rough delivery. All that started around 31 weeks.
This time it started at 28 weeks and my new doc put me on Procardia and strict bed rest at 31 weeks. I go back on Friday but in 3 weeks I haven't gained any weight. I have no appetite and feel like there's no room for LO to grow. My hips are killing me since he's dropped even more and heads engaged. Currently 33 weeks

Re: IUGR come in!
Is your doctor telling you that you are consistently measuring behind?
Have you has a growth scan to see if baby is below the 10th percentile?
IUGR that is worrisome usually comes with a host of other issues (low AFI, reverse cord dopplers, etc.), none of which are just symptoms you can self diagnose.
Eta: pre-e and things like that can bring on IUGR too, but again, nothing that you can self diagnose. If your doctor isn't worried or bringing it up, why are you?
Weight gain has very little to do with it. A woman can gain 15 pounds and have a 9 pound baby. A woman can gain 70 pounds and have a 4 pound baby.

I've read that poor weight gain, decrease in fetal activity, and anemia (currently on iron pills that just started 2 weeks ago) are signs along with measuring behind.
Like I said, I go back tomorrow and will be measured and weighed so I will discuss with the doctor. Just wanted to see what others were experiencing from IUGR.
Edit: If you had your baby at 40 weeks, your baby would have to be under 5.5 pounds to be considered IUGR. Since you had him "early," this means he would have to be even smaller to meet the diagnostic criteria. The 10th-90th percentile for a full-term baby is 5.5-9.5 pounds. A 6.5 pound baby is a good-sized baby for him being "early."

So are you just concerned about possibly having IUGR? I am confused.

At this point in my pregnancy with DS I was packing on the pounds towards the end. My new doc has done belly measurements as soon as the last. He just started them a few weeks ago (probably only had then done maybe 3-4 times?). We will see what tomorrow shows!
If you are concerned about decreased movement, call your doctor, don't consult an Internet forum. If your doctor isn't concerned, why are you?
ETA: I also have no appetite and no room as her head is shoved in my stomach but all that is par the course from that I understand.
I would, however, be more concerned about measuring behind on fundal height. However, if your doctor has ordered an ultrasound and is doing extra monitoring, it sounds like he is taking appropriate precautions.

Will be checking with the doc tomorrow. I was NEVER Not going to check with them and only consult with folks on the internet. Was just looking for others with experience with this condition.
