Thank-you very much Christine and Mary. She’s
been hoping to be able to go into labour spontaneously for the first time, so
we’ll find out more soon I guess. Thank-you! Best Regards, Kelly Zantey From: owner- The important measurement here is the abdominal
circumference. 4 weeks below gest age indicates IUGR. The next
important measurement is U/S Doppler flow. This, + Amniotic fluid levels
are the most reliable indication of baby’s health. Reverse Doppler
flow the most ominous. MM From: The BPD is Bi-Parietal Diameter and is the width of
her baby’s head. She should really ask her midwife what this means
as I believe this would indicate IUGR and that close observation is wise
including a follow up USS in a few weeks to monitor growth as this may have
slowed. On the bright side the baby may have been breathing in when they
measured it which gives a false reading, I presume thought that they watched
for a while before taking the measurement to try and ensure this was not the
case. It is difficult to give advice with just a snapshot of a
woman’s pregnancy and I may have a different opinion if I knew the woman
and her whole history. Hope this helps. Christine -----Original
Message----- 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:
Can anyone offer and insight into this – is it an indicator
that IUGR may be diagnosed again? Best
