good luck confused, how many weeks r u? I have been admitted to hospital but allowed out in between monitoring. Am 35 weeks today so they r gonna try and leave him another week as he seems happy enough but have scan Friday to check him over again.
Anyone having regular growth scans due to risk of IUGR?

Hello! Just sneaking in to say my son had severe iugr in 2010, he weighed 1lb4oz at birth. Just look at the link in my sig for a (little biased here) beautiful story of iugr and beating the odds.
I know when I was diagnosed I LOVED reading positive stories so I thought I would return the favor

Vermeil, your story is beautiful. Looking at pictures of your LO brought back a lot of emotions from my daughter's time in the NICU. It's weird to think that was 4 months ago already. Time sure does fly!
My daughter was also severe IUGR. I made it to 34 weeks to the day, and she was only 3 lbs. 1 oz. I know how hard it was, and cannot even imagine having a baby a little over 1 lb. You're a very strong woman, and I am so glad you chose his life, because just look how amazing he is!!

Awwww, fantastic news Cheska, what a little trooper. U will have to post a photo wen u get a spare minute.
I am on day release again, scan has showed him growing loads now so they were talking about getting him out next week but I reckon they might leave him in another week or so now, who knows! Will keep u posted.
Huge congratulations xxx

Thank you Crayz. You are right, time does fly by! It`s been two YEARS and I still get teary talking about my son`s birth and looking at his nicu pictures.
And yes your daughter is absolutely beautiful! Congratulations!! Glad to hear she is doing well
xThank you, nchris! I too have been trying to keep up with this thread, but its a but hard with a new baby!
So I found out a likely reason why our baby was iugr. She had a very long, hypercoiled umbilical cord, this can cause problems with growth and in our case it did. Just glad she is out and safe now!!

Hiiiiii
My yellow bump turned blue on 21-11-12 our little man Remi was born 1.9kgs (4lbs 3oz) at 33+5 we didn't have another growth scan booked until 34 weeks but my blood pressure from my preeclampsia was being incredibly uncontrollable and the hospital decided enough was enough. I was told I was unfavorable for induction as cervix was posterior, high, 2cm long and closed. So was given Cervadil at 5pm and told I would have my membranes ruptured in the morning and started on the drip. My body and baby had other ideas and he was born at 3:46am very quickly and suddenly. He was breathing straight away but because I was actually still in the maternity ward not a birth suite there was no oxygen tap in the room and he was quickly ran next door to a birth suite with an oxygen tap. But he's doing so well since. I'm so proud and just in love!!!

Ladies can i join the thread. This is my 2nd pregnancy, my son was a low birth weight baby 2kg at 39weeks. My small bump and measuring 5 weeks behind went unnoticed till a week before. His a healthy 2 year old now.
This pregnancy ive been having growth scans last one was at 32 weeks and he was perfect weight and measurement. I had a 35week midwife appointment and she measured me at 32 weeks. She believes i havnt grown in 3 weeks. Im in total shock cause i thought i might have a chance of him being normal. I still have a small bump and feel his kicks more than my 1st son. I have a scan tomorrow to see if the midwife is right.
I just thought his movements were really good and strong. How are your babys movements? Some nights he keeps me up and others i sleep like as if im not pregnant. I have hours sometimes where his quite, get a nudge here and there. Im so confused.

hi dilek, i wouldnt necc believe the fundal height, mine is measuring 5 weeks behind, obviously after my little boy was iugr we all paniced, had a scan and turned out she is measuring fine and no problems, i just have a v small bump, my mum says i look 5 months and not 34 weeks!
dilek, your baby could just be sitting low in your pelvis. I agree fundal measurements are not particularly accurate. WRT movement, my IUGR baby was my fourth baby and I did not notice a difference b/n her movements late in pregnancy compared to my big babies. I hope you get reassuring news at your u/s!!!

hi ladies.. just some words of encouragement!
i was measuring small since 20 weeks, constantly 2-3 weeks behind. his little abdomen always measured between 10th-13th centile, and his head was anywhere from <5 to 43rd centile. I was told to eat more and healthier and rest. That didnt change anything. I was told.. i could have a perfectly healthy yet small baby. They started mentioning taking him around 30 weeks because he might do better on the outside, but every 2 weeks at every growth scan, he would gain just enough to hold me over for another 2 weeks. to make a long story short.. I ended up going 40+3, water broke naturally.. had a 23 hour labor and he was out in 3 pushes. born at exactly 7lbs and 20 inches long.
I was at risk for IUGR but never diagnosed.
Thank you ladies for all your kind words in this thread and I wish the best for your bundles of joy to be.

having said tjat a;; about my bump, now i measure 7 weeks behind and my little one is 5lb at 38 weeks, she appears to have stopped growing around 3 weeks ago. I am gutted that i have to go through this aghain, but so thankful that i have got to term. Im getting steroids and having a c section on friday as im v unfavourable for induction. I think i would have gone overdue any way and then had to have a section so am coming to terms with it.....just wish i hadnt got rid of all mikeys prem clothing"!
