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?
