Fetal specialist scare
My daughter is 2 and was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder at 3 weeks. I’m now 22 weeks pregnant with our son. My OB dr referred me to a fetal specialist to talk over possibilities of our son having this condition.
Well my husband and I went today. They don’t think he has The disorder, but they have other concerns I’m looking to see if anyone else on here has to experienced.
The baby is very tiny for how far along I am. He is only in the 1st percentile for his size.
They are concerned about the placenta not delivering enough blood and nutrients to him and want me to come back every week for an ultrasound to make sure my placenta is properly giving blood and nutrients to him to avoid stillbirth.
Obviously hearing the word stillbirth sent me into a panic. Best case scenario is he hits a growth spurt and everything’s fine. Worst case the placenta eventually stops doing what it’s supposed to and they’ll have to deliver him early.
Our daughter was born 5 weeks early and had nicu time and I wanted so much to avoid this and have a “normal” labor experience.
I’m feeling so upset and scared about these unknowns. Anyone else have something similar like this happen?
Thanks❤️
