IUGR anyone?

Hey there,

Just wondering if anyone else's bubs have this? Bubs at 19 week scan measured all average for growth etc but then at 30 week midwife check seemed small so we went for a growth scan, which also confirmed this. Bubs' body circumference had dropped from the 50% line to just below the 5% line, 2 weeks later we're back at 10% phew!

Part time work for me next 2 weeks then we'll see - just wondering how everyone else is going! :)

sorry what does IUGR mean?

Jake was, but he caught up by 38 weeks... and his weight was spot on for gestational age at birth so it was a lot of stress about nothing in the end for us.. though the rate he was growing towards the end I am glad he came early...

Aoife was IUGR and had reduced fluid in her sac. They found it at 28 weeks and after that i was on weekly scans until 35 weeks when they decided they were better out than in.

After my 28 week scan I reduced my hours and worked from home. I found rest helped.

Aoife was 3lbs 10oz (1.64kgs) and Eimear was 5lbs (2.25kgs). Eimear was the baby that needed more assistance when born as What with Aoife having to fight that little bit more in the womb she was more prepared to be evicted

Also Aoife is now both taller and heavier than her twin sister. I still think of her as my little one though
