IUGR in previous pregnancies?

[chloelyra]

Mom 2B,

I am 20wks 4 days. I could feel his movement today, don't think he has slow down. Will have to wait and see. The OB listened to his heartbeat and was happy that the fetus HB was strong and steady. I will ask for another scan sooner than 32 weeks.

Good luck with your appointment, let's us know how the appointment goes.

Well im off to my growth u/s today....wish my luck adn ill update later

 

[Mom 2B]

Well ladies I'm back from my u/s. I'm 32+1 today. Head measures 29+6, Leg measures 33, Belly measures 31+3, and weight was 3 lbs 12 oz. So long legs but everything else is small. He should weigh like 4.5 Lbs now. I dont remember if my daughter u/s was at 32 or 34 weeks but she weighed 4 Lbs. Ill have to look up to see when hers was. Also my fluid is kinda low. Not sure if thats a big concern or not. I go see my Dr on wednesday but now sureif he will have the results yet.

 

[Mom 2B]

So I just looked up when my daughters u/s were. At her 35 week u/s she weighed 4lbs. her head was 32+5 and belly was 28+6. I hope i get another u/s around 35 weeks so i can compare.

hi mom2b

l too had an iugr baby nearly 2 years ago now - she was born at 37 wks measuring 4lb 11oz

but they never saw how small she was as the silly mw never recorded proper bump measurements at the 32wk check

I also had retained placenta so worrying about this one too - l am 19 wks and due May 14

sorry to be following your thread but like you l am wondering if this one will be tiny as well - as we stayed in for a week which was terrible and also having to have a spinal to take the placenta out on delivery was traumatic for me too!

I also was not given any explanation for either iugr or retained placenta and this time all the cons said at my 16wk check is that they will scan me at 28 wks and again at 32 wks and no more if baby is ok size - l cannot help feel that this is surely not enough?

my bump is also a bit small now so wondering if my fluid is low too!

l have a question please - would drinking more fluids make you produce more amniotic fluid as l can barely get 2 litres down me and only managing 1 litre per day?

thank you for your help

 

[Mom 2B]

I have not beentold if drinking water will increase yuour amnio fluid...the dr has not even comfirmed if i have low fluid yet. I see him tododay and i will find out. Best of luck to you

hiya mom 2b hope you well, how did your appt go?

 

[Mom 2B]

im still measuring 2 weeks behind. the u/s said my fluid is on the low end of normal so we will make sure to check that again at my 35 week u/s. As long as i only stay 2 weeks behind its not so bad but if i drop farther behind then its looking like an IUGR baby. but i dont really count on belly measuments cuz i measured pretty close to normal with my little girl the whole way throu.

I also have now found out i have PUPPPs. yay for me!!!!!! NOT!!!!

hiya mom 2b

glad your appt went well and that you are not too far behind in wks

sorry to sound dumb but what is pupps?

l got my scan on the 29th - any ideas of what l should ask?

 

[Mom 2B]

Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy

My dr said that they use to explain it like this....I am allergic to this pregnancy. I have hives on my bump and its insanly itchy and the only way to get rid of it is to have the baby. Its not dangerous to me or baby but VERY annoying. Drives me crazy.

Not sure what questions you should ask. Are you measuring small? If so I would ask what the head and belly measurments are so you know roughly how far behind you are.

 

[glamis]

hiya mom 2b, hope you are keeping well

that pupps does not sound too nice, hopefully the next few weeks will rush by quickly for you

thanks for your support will ask for those measurements on my scan on wednesday

 

[Mom 2B]

So I had my 35 week u/s today. Baby boy is right on track. I will have a normal weight baby this time. he is estimated at 5lbs 13oz......which is a whole pound more than what my daughter weighed at birth. I am so relieved!!!!!!!!!

 

[glamis]

yay so happy for you
