Preemies
Expecting my 2nd IUGR preemie...
I have not been active on this board in forever! But I wanted to reach for support from other IUGR mommas, especially those with micro preemies.
I am 25 weeks pregnant with our 2nd boy, who we found out at 23w6d is measuring in about the 1st percentile at our growth scan. I have absent end diastolic flow, so it looks like placental issues again. My first DS (now 2) was diagnosed with IUGR at 31 weeks and delivered at 32 weeks due to reverse flow and me developing severe pre-e. He was 2 lbs. 9 oz. which now seems so big to me. This little one was measuring about 14 oz. (412g) at the u/s last week. We go for another growth scan at the end of this week. I was admitted to the hospital yesterday for monitoring because he had some decels in his heart rate during an NST. Overall, he has looked pretty good for his gestational age they say, but we have had a few scary dips. I am currently off continuous monitoring at the moment which will hopefully help keep him in longer as they will not overanalyze every little thing. Really want to get to at least 28 weeks which seems so far away right now!
Just wondering if there are any IUGR micro preemies mommas on this board with success stories you could share with a nervous momma like me. We are thinking this same thing was likely happening with DS last time but we just didn't know it at the time. I am just so nervous for my little guy.

No experience with micropreemies, but my son was iugr at 6% at birth at 32 weeks, due to absent end diastolic flow. It turned reverse and we delivered that day, which I'm sure you are all too familiar with.
