Caddie - please try not to let the words IUGR stress you out too much. Kameron stopped growing from 30wks. At my 30wk check my fundal height was 27cm and they were concerned so they booked me in for an Ultrasound to check placental flow and amniotic fluid levels.

At 32 weeks I had another scan as they still were not happy and Kameron had hardly grown. My fundal height was only 28cm.

34 weeks and another scan, placenta was fine and fluid levels were "normal" but on the low side of "normal"

At my 36wk scan they were predicting a 4lb baby. At just over 37 wks it was just over 4lb. Kameron was induced at 37wks 6 days due to "possible IUGR" and I also had the onset of pre-eclampsia. They had a humidicrib set up ready to go for Kameron and specialists on hand at his delivery ready for the tiny baby to be born. He was birthed vaginally weighing 6lb !! ... not 48hrs before their "measurements" were just over 4lb.

Lachlan - My 2nd "IUGR" baby. Once again stopped growing from 30wks and I had scans done every 2wks. They were highly considering giving the baby steroids for his lungs and inducing me at 35wks !! I would go to each appointment with my hospital bag in the car. Once again my fundal height was down from what it should have been. At one stage my fundal height was 6cm below, so it was back to fortnightly scans to keep an eye on the placenta and make sure bubs was growing.

At 37wks they were predicting a 4lb something again. Lachlan was induced at 38wks 1 day delivered vaginally weighing 6lb 7oz !!

So what I am trying to say is please take the u/sound "weight checks" with a grain of salt. Both of my boys were way out, and both were born over the IUGR cut off limit which is 5lb something.

I will probably be facing the same thing again with this baby, but I have already declared I want a natural labour if they are only suspecting IUGR, and they are happy to let me do that.

Love
