27 wks. Umbilical cord isn’t connected to the placenta correctly and they said they’d monitor development but I havent had an US for 2 months and I feel like she isnt growing. I know bumps vary but I feel very small. Anybody have experience or advice?

Question

Answer

I would a)call and question the office about it b) get a second opinion. I feel like this would be one of those things they’d monitor closer then ever few months

Answer

Your belly looks just right for 27 weeks tbh! But they should definitely be monitoring it more I would call them

Answer

I don’t understand why they wouldn’t monitor you more especially with what they told you. I would call your doctor and find out what’s going on. Just for your peace of mind. Good luck with everything❤️￼￼￼￼￼

Answer

I would get a second opinion. If you feel hour bzby isnt growing you should definitely look into other drs. Or answers. 
My son at 27 weeks had back flow through his umbilical cord whivh was causing him to slowly starve. He ended up being delivered at 37 weeks 5 days.

Answer

You should be having appointments every week otherwise you need to switch offices and sign a release form so your new office can have your information and make better diagnoses by checking behind that office you go to

Answer

My cord is also not connected to the center of placenta, it is at the edge of it, which is makes me have VCI (velamentous cord insertion) and in many cases causes growth restrictions. But I am being monitored often at both, my midwife clinic and at the MFM specialist. I would ask them to give an ultrasound asap. You could fine, as people cary babies in different ways, but if they said about the cord insertion I would ask them to be seen.

Answer

This happened to my friend. They monitored it and she had a healthy 10 pound baby at the end of it :)
