IUGR at 19 weeks

kyla

Any other momma’s diagnosed with IUGR at/around 19 weeks? I had my gender scan with the high risk doctor yesterday at 19 and 1day. Baby boy is just in the 9th percentile. I have to go back on 9/12, when he is considered viable, and if he doesn’t have a significant growth spurt, I’ll have to go back for weekly monitoring of growth and heart rate and then they’ll keep an eye and decide if/when he needs to come early. Luckily they don’t believe it is anything genetic or chromosomal and the blood flow to/from the placenta looks good. Trying not to freak out, because my daughter was also a very small baby (just not quite as small as this little fella), and she is perfectly healthy. She was just very petite until about 3 years old. But, they also didn’t induce me early with her.

Anyone else have any experience with this? When did you finally deliver and what was your experience like?
