IUGR/FGR/ Low Birth weight - 1.9kg @ 35 weeks

Hi mummies, I am really anxious. I’ve been trying to eat as much as I can to pump up baby’s weight. I’m scheduled to be induced by weeks 37 too due to low birth weight. Gynae doesn’t recommend to even go beyond 38 weeks as the risks for further complications might arise. Any mummies has gone through similar experiences of induction at 37 weeks due low birth weight? Care to share how was your experiences & baby’s weight at birth? In need of some assurances & moral support! 💕 Thank you! 🙏🏽 #firstbaby

Previously I saw some posts that some mummies are induced at week 32/33 weeks as well.. they said that they grew up fine and it was the best decision ever as the baby is able to take it nutrients better.. don't worry about it!

Thank you for this assurance! 🙏🏽

the low birth weight is determined by the abdominal circumference, femur length and the head circumference measurements? if yes does this means that the measurements are all below average?

Yup, mostly that’s the case.
