IUGR- chances of it happening again?

[beachsidegoddess]

I was induced at 38w with Mr. Bombadil, due to IUGR and the fact he was shunting blood from his extremities to brain/heart. Born at 2.305kg (5lb 1oz old scale). What are the chances of it happening again? I'm 12 weeks, see OB for first time next week, but I do wonder. I originally thought it might have been because my mum died suddenly at 23w, but the slow down in growth really didn't start until 32w. Thoughts/experiences?

DD had several medical problems, but she had severe IUGR and was delivered at 34+1 at only 1.6kg (3lb 12oz).

DS was born at 39+5 at 2.8kg (6lb5oz). So, a little on the small end but most babies in my family are around the 6-7lb mark.

I requested 2-3weekly scans with DS to keep a close eye on his growth.

Good luck with everything.

I had 2 IUGR babies, but it was determined at the end of my 2nd pregnancy that I had a gene abnormality which causes low birth weight babies. My 3rd pregnancy was also a small baby 2 days before I had him I was told he was 4lb 11 (or something like that) he was born 4 weeks early (natural labour) weighing 5lb 13oz
