Severe IUGR at 30 weeks - scared out of my mind

[alocin22]

Ah thats good news. Lets hope you have a few more weeks like this. Keep up with the drinking and maybe you may make 37 weeks.
All the best for the next few weeks.

Also, don't depend on their measurements to be spot on. They told me a week before my LO was born she was only 3lbs. At this point she was gaining half a pound every 2 and a half, 3 weeks-ish.

She was born at 4lbs10

Totally agree there!!!!! i know a few people that were told they had small babies... one gave birth to a 8lb baby just 2 weeks after myself and she was told by the same hospital that i had attended
I was also predicted mine was to be 5lb it was the lady in theatre as i was being prepped for a C Section that got it virtually spot on. She felt my belly and said no way 5lb more like 4lb

 

[cowboys angel]

Wow skilled! One ounce off!

Hello again, here's the update, the scan went well again, this week. Still have low fluid, and she didn't grow this week - but great movement and practice breathing and blood flow is stable. She was "breathing" so much they had trouble getting a clear Doppler reading!

So we have another week Closer and closer to 37 weeks and our Aug 6th csection date. Hopefully one more week inside mummy is one less week in the nicu

 

[cowboys angel]

YAY!

[DonnaBallona]

welcome to the world little one! congratulations and well done on keeping her cooking for so long. you did a great job!

hope you and baby are doing well. x

 

[AuntBug]

Thanks everyone. She couldn't be doing better Her breathing and oxygen levels are great, she's eating well from a bottle, she's just perfect! Just needs to grow and hold her temp.

They think her size is due to placental issues. They aren't concerned about genetic conditions, she doesn't have any infection, she's simply just small. We couldn't be happier

Congratulations!

 

[cowboys angel]

Are you able to take her home yet??

 

[AuntBug]

No, can't take her home yet. I'm discharged on Friday, and it looks like she'll be in the nicu for 3-6 weeks to make sure she gains weight.

 

[Marleysgirl]

Congratulations

 

[cowboys angel]

That's why my LO was kept in the hospital, to gain weight too.
