Severe IUGR at 30 weeks - scared out of my mind

[AuntBug]

Hi ladies, here are some pics. She's eating like a champ and will probably be off of IV nutrition in the next few days. While a little jaundice, she has been doing amazingly!! DH and I are over the moon

They believe her size is pretty much due to my small placenta and a tiny umbilical cord (thickness of a pencil when she was born). She's a fighter and doing great. She has no idea she is so small, just a feisty little thing.

THANK YOU THANK YOU for everything over the past few weeks!!!!

Wow she is just so cute Thank you for sharing pictures, what a sweetie. xxxxx

I have missed all the action! Congratulations! Just got he internet connected after our house move. She is absolutely gorgeous and sounds like she is doing so well despite being tiny. So glad that things are going so well after what I can only imagine was quite a stressful pregnancy. Hope she continues to thrive so she can get home sooner.

Thanks everyone! She is my beautiful little fighter and is surprising all the doctors. She had her IV removed, is off photo therapy, and up to 25cc per feeding She started at 3cc per feeding.

Now she just needs to bulk on up!

Congratulations your daughter is beautiful.
Am sure she will come along in leaps & bounds. My IUGR was due to unexpolained placental issues and LO gained weight so quickly once she was born.
Hope you get to take LO home real soon.

Thanks alocin! She's 2 weeks old today and up to 1300 grams (she was 1124 at birth) she's doing great, just needs to put on the pounds

Forgive the question- but isn't 1124 grams something like 2 1/2 pounds?? She looks so much bigger than that! so sweet! Glad to hear she's doing so well
