[ozmidwifery] IUGR

[Kelly @ BellyBelly]

A mum and dear friend I am supporting is due on November 9th and has had two previous IOL for IUGR. At her scan today, she said: ”Head Circ around 31cm just a couple of days off Gestational Age... aka perfect Leg bone length - Perfect about 4 days off Gest Age BPD (not sure what that is) - Approx a week under Gest Age Amnio Levels - Perfect Blood flow through cord - Perfect AC (stomach circ) - 4 weeks below gestational age - she checked it 3 times. So they graphed it and the computer automatically plotted it and gave a weight reading. 4lb 11oz the computer was saying give or take 13% on each side of that. So looks like another tiny baby on my hands. Now we have to sit and wait what they say at my next antenatal appointment, at my last she said if there is an issue she may call me in early. They checked this scan against Kameron and Lachlans too at the same gest age and Ashton is not far off what they were predicted for both the boys. Lachlan at 35wks 1 day they predicted 4lb 9oz. I am 35wks 5 days today. So pretty much the same, so I am expecting a 6lb something to be born.”   Can anyone offer and insight into this – is it an indicator that IUGR may be diagnosed again?   Best Regards,   Kelly Zantey
