Hi All,
Ive have been diagonsed with a SGA/IUGR baby since 33 weeks.
Ive been having weekly growth/doppler scans and twice weekly CTG's.
Im currently 36 weeks today and am schedeuled to be induced at 38 weeks exactley.

All the scans show good placental flow to bub, placenta is ok, amniotic fluid is spot on, just measuring 3 weeks behind.

My first bub was 3.080kg at 41+3 so not exacltly a giant but a good size.

Im so scared for this baby, im inconsolable. Will she be ok in labour, will she be ok after, will she have heaps of developmental problems. Im just not coping with the stress of all this and my head wont stop spinning.

I cant cope.. Need some reasuring words

:hugs: I know how worrying it can be, as my bub was identified as IUGR from around the 6 month mark (I think... it was all a bit of a blur).

I was induced at 36 weeks, and although he was a very low birth weight he's now a comparative porker and is the happiest baby in the world.

It sounds like you're being monitored really closely, and the fact that the medics are scheduling you in for 38 weeks means they're happy with how your bub is going.

All the best and I hope all goes well with the birth (which I'm sure it will). In these next two weeks can you do some relaxing stuff for you, or with your daughter to take your mind off things a little bit?
