Baby Not Growing??

Question

So yea I have high bp and I attend the bp clinic for pregnancy. On Friday , the doctor scanned me .. and said everything was fine (blood flow) apart from maybe the baby’s belly .. I’m 37 weeks. The scan I had at 35+6 estimated Bby to be 6lbs1 and this one on Friday was measuring 6lbs 3 .. so do you think maybe it really was his measurements wrong or the Bby belly isn’t growing ? He’s given me an appointment for tomorrow.. which is very close so maybe the placenta has stopped functioning ? And what chances are that he will induce tomorrow lol? 😭  I’d rather be told like a day in advance to be induced

Answer

I was induced at 36 weeks with my son due to low amniotic fluid. My weekly OB appointments, I kept measuring 35 weeks so my doctor had me come in the next day for an ultrasound. That was when they realized I was measuring small due to low amniotic fluid. They sent me to the hospital to be monitored and then decided to induce me. Good luck!

Answer

I was told on friday that my bp is too high and baby is small. I woke up saturday with totally swollen hands and got monitored at the hospital for preeclampsia. They ordered an extensive ultrasound for this coming friday to measure the growth, fluid levels, her lungs and oxygen levels. They will talk about inducing if things havent improved by this weekend. Good luck girly! Hope everything turns out fine for you!

Answer

They gave my sister in law a couple days notice when my niece stopped growing at 35 weeks.  She had a couple scans throughout the week and then they gave her an inducement date a couple days out.  Hopefully they won’t spring it on you.
