Doctor scheduled c section for Tuesday at 37 weeks
Wednesday I was admitted to the hospital becuse of high bp. I was tested for preeclampsia again and monitored for 24 hours. Turns out I just have gestational hyper tension so no preclampsia and bp readings are great now! But doctor did a ultrasound and turns out my little girl is only weighing 4lbs and 13 oz at 37 weeks. Which puts her between 5 & 10 percentile. I had not had a scan since the 20 week anatomy scan so doctor thought she was fine. Her heart and everything looks great doctor said she sees no issues with her at all just her size. I do have fibroids but she says they are small so no issue there. So as a ftm I'm panicking I'm so worried that she'll be delivered via c section at 37 weeks which is Tuesday and I'm in the hospital until then. My mother was born on time at 4.4 pounds and I a week late at 5.4. Doctors adamit that she wants her out due to whatever's stunting her growth. Started steroids today. Any moms had a experience like this I could use prayers and encouragement. I know she'll be in nicu due to her size doc said so just as long as she's okay. Could use support. 🎀🌈
