Experience with FGR/IUGR?
Could anyone please share their experience with Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) or Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)? My baby was only 1106g at 29W6D... Wondering if it's a cause of concern and whether it really means we have to take baby out earlier than expected...
Hi! I had this in 2020 and had to deliver at 26wks due to severe and early onset of IUGR plus reversed blood flow. There will come a time where baby is better out than in and since you’ve passed 30wks, the chances of thriving are much higher. Baby will need NICU but trust that they will be in the best of hands. It’ll be good to request to speak to the neonatal team to get a better idea of what to expect after birth. With reversed flow, it’s better to get baby out asap as the placenta and your body will start taking from baby instead of providing for them to grow. Also will be good to request for steroids shots to help mature baby’s lungs. I know it’s a very scary journey and I’ve been there too but trust in the NICU team, they’re angels and my boy wouldnt be here today if it wasn’t for them. Wishing you the very best!
