My last pregnancy was exactly the same as what you are going through...At the 20 week scan very small and poor placental flow...Iwas put on bedrest started aspirin (on top of the clexane 40mg) and hospitalised at 25 weeks, monitored every day and ultrasounds 1-2 times a week,with a c section at 31 weeks. Our Ob told us we may not make it past 26 weeks, but we did...I really thinkl the bedrest made the world of difference, and I also increased my fluid intake and had sustagen supplements..I had read this can assist with increasing amniotic fluid (mine was very low due to the IUGR)
He was born 1.275gms at 31 weeks, needed a little bit of CPAP for a couple of days to help him breathe, and the only longer term issues have been gastro oesophageal reflux and a feeding aversion (which have since subsided)...He is one of the brightest at pre school and has amazing energy!
Hope all went well with your appointment....Got my fingers crossed for you!
my OB found there was very little growth in my bubby and that she had almost no fluid surrounding her.. i was transfered into the immediate care of a fetal specialist who pronounced her dead on the following monday.. i was admited to hopsital on wednesday where i gave birth to my angel baby Matilda Bear.
the haem suggested next pregnancy i try clexane in smaller amounts but twice a day in combination with asprin.. im not sure when ill be ready to think about this...
