UPDATE: How quickly things change from week to week! I've been having bi-weekly NSTs with everything going smoothly. Since my last ultrasound, my MFM doctor had labeled me as growth-restriction resolved since baby had hit 11% and we had scheduled a induction at 39wks.
Today I had my last growth ultrasound and now baby is back measuring in the 6% (about 4.6lbs). The MFM said we are either off in measurements or we were never really out of the growth restriction concern. With IUGR comes an increased risk in baby being stillborn, so my induction has been moved up to 38weeks or May 10th. Baby is looking healthy otherwise so I'm hanging onto that and the fact that I'll get to meet him in under 3 weeks now! I just feel likes it's been a constant back and forth of everything's good to nope, here's some more stress! Thankfully DH is scheduled to be back home a few days before that and I was able to get ahold of him today and explain everything.

That is stressful but it sounds like you have some really good doctors taking care of you and baby. GL these next short weeks (!!) - glad your H will be home soon.
Ugh. I'm sorry you've had to deal with this rollercoaster of news. It sounds like you have a good plan in place. Induction can be a hard pill to swallow but it sounds like you are in good hands.
So sorry the doctors have gone back and forth with diagnosis but I'm glad they have a plan! I'm also really glad your DH will be home in time for the delivery!
@hp_momma: I'm sorry to hear that! But it's really good to have a plan in place, even if it changes through versions B, C, and D by the time it's delivery day. I'm glad you were able to chat with your hubbs about the new news. That's a good thing!
Oh that back and forth sounds awful. I am glad your H will be home for the birth and we'll all be thinking of you and sending positive thoughts your way!
I'm sorry the news has gone back and forth, but I am glad y'all have a plan now and that you were able to talk to your DH and that he will be home for the birth.
Ugh, sorry you're back to worrying but it's great that they have a plan that will still allow your H to be there and baby will be far alomg enough to still be pretty safe.

@hp_momma its great they've been keeping such a close eye on everything and are so flexible with the plan. It must be frustrating for you but it's also great DH should be back in time. Fingers crossed that LO continues to grow and do well until May 10!
hp_momma, but I'm glad your husband will be home for the induction! I hope that everything is perfect when the baby is born. You've been through an emotional rollercoaster this pregnancy, but it's really admirable how you've held up through it all.

Well that's frustrating that you thought you were clear and now they're not sure. I'm glad you're being monitored though so at least they didn't release you from that when they initially gave you the all clear!

Hugs, mama. Those growth ultrasounds are so hard to get through. I remember sobbing after more than one because I was so worried about baby B. Sending strength for you to get to May 10th!
I'm so sorry you're going through this rollercoaster!! It sounds like your doctors are on top of things and being diligent, so that's good! Thank you for keeping us posted. Thinking about you and baby!
How emotional! I'm glad you're looking at the positives of the baby being healthy otherwise and having your H home. We're all rooting for you and Baby Levi!
