IUGR- small gestational age

hi I'm on my 2nd pregnancy also with IUGR, but this time round, it's detected way earlier at wk 20. anyone with similar experiences. I'm really concerned on the possible effects to my baby once he's grown. social development , potential health issues etc. Also, has anyone gotten HL due to IUGR before?

Hi! I had this for my 1st pregnancy. Early and severe IUGR diagnosed at 20 weeks. Had to deliver baby at 26 weeks as he wasnt growing well and my cord flow reversed. Stayed 5mths in NICU but otherwise in terms of developmental milestones, his language and cognitive are way ahead of his peers. Gross motor was a little slow initially since he spent a long time lying down in NICU but have caught up. Only issue as with all preemie babies is his health so he does get sick more often and easily. He’s also smaller in size (height/weight) compared to his peers but otherwise all is good. Hang in there, I know how scary this is for you.
