36weeks small baby
Hi, my baby is 2.35kg now at 36 weeks which the gynae mentioned is a small baby and will have to induce if there is not much improvement in the next appt in 2 weeks. Anyone else had a similar experience? Pretty worried.
I don’t think it is right for other mums out there to tell this fellow mum not to worry. Whole pregnancy was healthy and going well. My baby was 2.3kg at 36weeks checkup. Gynae and everyone kept telling me not to worry. At 37weeks I was in labour went to hospital and baby heart already stop beating. Baby came out only 1.7kg with undetected IUGR. So it goes both ways baby weight in womb not accurate but your baby can come out within perfectly healthy range or dangerously low birth weight. I am not trying to scare you nor saying this will happen to you but this is my personal experience. If IUGR baby needs to come out ASAP, as early as 34 weeks (this is a second opinion I got from another gynae after my baby died). At 36weeks your baby is fully developed. I don’t see any harm bringing your kid into the world early where drs can intervene and administer medical help is required. Meantime, pls monitor detail movements closely and trust your instincts!!
