Quick update.
Had another scan on thursday at 25 weeks to check on growth due to two placentas and velamentous cord insertion connecting the two placentas. As of right now, baby was almost 2 pounds and was in the 65th percentile, so that was great news. I have another scan in November, and then come Dec. 6th I have NST twice a week and biophysical once a week. Hoping LO continues to grow well.

Just wanted to update that we are home w/ Lily who is doing fantastic! Her chromosome analysis came back NORMAL!! After many tests, it was determined that her bowel is normal too. So after all these months of worry, it seems I have a healthy little peanut

Hello all!
Update on me....
So baby is growing fine and seems happy in there. I however developed pre eclampsia, bang on 37weeks I had a sore head and floaty dot vision so checked my bp which was high so went to hospital for a check up, my bp was 170/100 when I got there so they kept me in and put me on bp meds. I was in there 3 days till I was stable, but baby is still happy so I'm now on bp meds and check ups to make sure all is still ok and the PE isn't affecting baby. (Which is what caused the iugr is my last baby) this time it's developed late on and caught early so it's not as serious.
But I'm having my planned c section on Friday anyway so not long to wait.

Yay, brilliant news Marie and Vixen.
Wishing you lots of luck Tish Tosh and Kelly.
Hope everyone else is doing well.
We had scan this morning and his growth has gradually started to slow down and is now below 5th percentile so am having steroid shots this weekend to prep for early delivery.
Am 33 week + 3 days today so we r really hoping he will be ok to stay in for a bit longer.
Have another scan on Thursday to check on him.
Just wondering if anyone knows, if I were to have to deliver at 34/35 weeks, could I be induced or is it too early? Would it have to be a c-section at that gestation?
Thanks x

I had my baby yesterday as planned by c section at 38+6weeks.
However turns out baby did infact have iugr even though my last scan at 32 weeks showed him growing right on track.
The placenta must have started to deteriorate from then on because he came out weighing 4lb 13oz and they said the placenta looked bad.
But he's here and healthy, just small. Thought all the scans would pick up on iugr but they didn't, they thought he was growing fine and expected a 7lb ish baby.
His name is Leathan and he was born yesterday 2nd nov at 12:58pm

Hi girls i just wanted to introduce myself.
I developed high BP at 29 weeks so have Pregnancy induced hypertension so am also on the watch for Pre-E.
My BP is being medicated. I have twice weekly fetal monitoring appts that check my BP, fluid levels, placenta, umbilical blood flow. Then i also have once fortnightly growth scans. So my next growth scan is on the 9th of Nov (this Friday) but i have no idea what any of the measurements were at the last one i was just told everything was "within range" which i guess is good news.
My umbilical doppler readings have been really good at every check up so i can't imagine having any growth restriction as of yet.
But then again my BP has started to climb this week so maybe we're about to have a new array of problems.
CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL THE NEW BABIES BEING BORN!!!!!!!!!!

Hi pea,
I would think it would be a section, especially if he isn't what a 'normal' 34 week baby would weigh. I'll keep everything crossed he has grown some more and they can leave baby in to cook a bit longer. What was your official due date?
Hi Cheska,
I don't actually mind as long as he is OK, am a bit scared of c section just cos never had one before but it might be nice just to get it over with quickly if u know what I mean!! My actual due date is Dec 18th but we had never planned on getting that far. He was 3lb 13 oz on Friday and had put half a pound on in a fortnight but abdominal circumference hadn't changed.However fluid and dopplers were normal and he is moving fine so am hoping to hang on a bit longer.
How r things going with u? R u still getting regular growth scans? How is your little one doing?

Similar really - last time the abdo hadn't grown as much as they would like in 2 weeks so had to go the week after to check Doppler and fluid. Which were good. Next growth scan is this thurs. Two weeks previous they est the weight at 2lb 13 so hopefully it's over 3lb now .
Im most nervous about a section due to not being able to drive for 6 weeks afterwards and if they discharge me and baby stays in for a bit it would do my head in being stuck at home.
3lb 13 is great, you must be so pleased. Please let me know how you get on. Lots of luck for your next scan x
