Can I see your 5ish pound babies? Small/iugr babies

Question

Hey mamas. My baby is iugr and estimated to be about 5 pounds and I’m being induced in a few days. I don’t know what to expect. I’ll be 38 weeks. Would love to hear your stories about similar experiences and see your little bundles. I’m having such a hard time picturing what my little guy will be like so small. My first baby was 7,10.

Answer

My son was 5lb 8oz and I also was induced at 38 weeks. My son had some issues with his glucose levels and drinking but those issues fixed themselves within 24 hours, it was just because of the pain medicine I was given during labor before the epidural, and he was perfectly healthy. He's now 14 months old and the healthiest baby.
My doctor said he was just one of the small ones, but that doesn't mean somethings wrong. Don't worry I was stressed something was wrong too but now I know everything's fine 😊
