Hi ladies
I am wondering if anyone has had this happen to them. I could use a little advice or just T&P's. I am currently 33 weeks and I went in for my growth scan 2 days ago. My little girl has gone from measuring in the 62% a month ago to the 31% now. Her abdominal cavity is measuring at 10%.
Her heartbeat is 158 (great), my amniotic fluid is 14.1 (normal range). They ran a doppler on the cord which looks fine. The doctors don't seem to understand what is causing it.
I know you are not specialists but I am looking for any anecdotal stories about babies suddenly measuring small but turning out ok. I am now going in weekly for nst and in 3 weeks I will have another growth scan. They are saying they might have to consider taking her early since I may not be able to keep her growing.
***Update*** I went in for my nst yesterday and baby is doing great but I am still measuring behind. The new doctor in my practice brought up IUGR and stated he thinks I should induce at 37 weeks. So that is what we are going to do. I would of course prefer that dd stay in place for at least a couple of extra weeks, I don't want to take the chance that something goes wrong. I have my next growth scan in 2 weeks.
