High Risk IUGR

efiestedt · May 2016

Anyone high risk for possible IUGR? My 1st born was in the 2nd percentile and baby 2 is measuring in the 25th percentile. I'm being referred to a specialist now at 25 weeks. What are my chances of not being induced? I was with my 1st and it sucked. Anyone in this boat? How often did you have to see the specialist for possible IUGR and high risk?

You may get more of a response on the "high risk board" under pregnancy.

My 2nd had igur. I was pretty much weekly monitored by 30 weeks with my mfm and regular dr. I'm not sure what the chances are of not being induced since I had to be at 38 weeks because growth became too slow. However, I was able to avoid a c section that my mfm wanted because of my incredible regular dr and midwife.

I also had IUGR with my first. I will start weekly visits at 28 weeks (24 weeks 4 days now) with my OB just for precaution. They don't seem to think IUGR with one pregnancy will predetermine IUGR with subsequent pregnancies. She is already measuring a little behind (just one week). They have not mentioned a specialists as of yet.

My first was born at 36 weeks via c-section (IUGR/breech). I had 2 cm of amnio at that point, so they delivered. She was in 2nd percentile... remained under 10 percentile (except her head) until she was about 18-24 months. I feel like she is just now catching up to her peers in the height department (3 years 4 months). I am curious how your first is growth-wise.

I think induction will just depend on if your baby is showing any growth or not once you get further down the road.

My first was IUGR, induced at 36 weeks. I saw my OB once a week and specialist once a week (So basically BPPs twice a week) between 28-36 weeks. I didn't have any problems but since my IUGR was caused by the placenta, 36 weeks was the cut off.

My second dropped down to the 15% percent and I had weekly BPPs between 32-29 weeks. He was a healthy 7.5 pounds.

This baby was in the 20% percent at 20 weeks so we'll see. I've got a growth ultrasound in 2 weeks!

I'm not sure what will end up happening, but you aren't alone! I only have half a uterus so I am also at high risk for IUGR. I have a growth scan in 6 days to see how baby girl is doing! I'm so nervous!
