Anyone else have a baby that’s IUGR?

Question

Baby girl was measuring 2.6% at 30.5 weeks. Being seen by my OB. 2x a week for monitoring since Doppler are elevated and MFM once a week. Hoping to make it to 37 weeks. Anyone else in a similar position?

Answer

I had IUGR with my first and they actually induced me at exactly 40 weeks because they felt at 37 weeks she was too small. At 37 weeks she was estimated through ultrasound to be almost 4 lbs. and then at 39 weeks and 4 days she was estimated to be 5 pounds 9 ounces. She was born exactly 40 weeks and was exactly 6 pounds. A little small but I think the wait did her well. They will probably keep sending u for ultrasound weekly estimates but I was always told baby would be a bit more than the estimate so that helped with positive thinking !

Answer

After 34 weeks they suspected IUGR but wasn’t really confirmed. Moved my delivery date from 38-39 weeks (previous loss so scheduled inductions) to 37-38 weeks. Started seeing MFM 2x a week, NST 1x a week. OB 1x a week.
Last Monday they told me I’d go in for an induction this past Friday. (37 weeks exactly) baby made her appearance, she’s smaller but not too small. Weighed 5lbs 2oz. We’re back home now. 😊 
Ultrasound week before measured 5lbs 3oz so it was pretty close!
