At 5 months I found out my baby was measuring 1 week behind. They monitored me a little closer & realized I have an abnormal umbilical Doppler which caused the baby to grow a lot slower (IUGR) or sometimes stop growing all together. This also messes with the blood supply which means his heart would slow down for minutes at a time to about 60bpm. This caused me to go into the hospital to be “monitored” but when he had a really bad heart rate drop & it wouldn’t pick up they got him out. My little baby was born at 26 weeks, a little under 1 pound. It’s been 8 days & he’s gaining weight, breathing on his own & super strong & fussy. Having a NICU baby isn’t easy but I’m just happy he’s doing great 💙 I’ll keep you guys updated. Message me if you had a similar experience
