yeah, which was why it was worrying, and baby stopped growing about 30/30+ weeks too. so for the last 2 weeks before she arrived at 35 weeks, my doc monitored very closely, since i was also showing signs of labour. she was concerned that baby would be stillborn. which was why when i went into spontaneous labour at 35 weeks, she did not try to stop the labour. cost-wise, we weren't really thinking too much about that. it was baby's health that was foremost on our minds
Wow,tat must be a tough time for u n ur family.. Glad to hear ur baby girl is growing well n strong now.. God's blessings~~ dun mind if I ask,were u v slim/skinny b4 pregnancy?yeah, which was why it was worrying, and baby stopped growing about 30/30+ weeks too. so for the last 2 weeks before she arrived at 35 weeks, my doc monitored very closely, since i was also showing signs of labour. she was concerned that baby would be stillborn. which was why when i went into spontaneous labour at 35 weeks, she did not try to stop the labour. cost-wise, we weren't really thinking too much about that. it was baby's health that was foremost on our minds
yes yes, she gave us a few things to worry about right from the OSCAR screening in first tri but that taught us to focus on surrendering things to the Guy Above
has the baby always been on the lighter side? if baby has always been say at 25th percentile throughout, it means baby is small but developing well consistently, in which case, shouldn't be cause for concern. if baby was always at 50th percentile and then dropped to 5-10th percentile, then doc will prob monitor closely (as was the case with my daughter). the doc might then run more scans to rule out placenta insufficiency/IUGR (intrauterine growth retardation). what else did the doc say other than comment baby is small for gestational age?
yes.. so far gynae said the same thing, "baby is small" since my last few checkups..ytd she checked for my baby's heartbeat and contraction. she didnt comment anything about the heartbeat (so i guess it s a good sign) and there was one contraction that occurred during the 30mins observation (which i read is normal to experience it). she asked me to monitor baby's kicks daily by using the count-to-ten chart. i ve asked what to do about baby's weight. she asked me to eat more, continue taking the supplements and the rest up to the baby. so i ll continue to eat the supplements, drink more milk, eat durian (though not so often) and of cos eat more. hope baby will be just fine.
hehe.. ok.. guess i m getting too paranoid.. will do just that.. thanks! and yes, most importantly is their health..
there is nothing much to worry about, because the baby's lungs and organs have been developed! you can opt for nutritious foods, like those high in proteins and all, and eat lesser carbohydrates. Goodluck.yup during the last check up i was send for detailed scan to check blood flow. my gynae didnt say anything. so i guess my baby is small in size. she ll check on the growth for the next check up. hope she/he will consistently grow even though she/he is light. but of cos hope my baby grows fat too hehe. and healthy! i dun quite worry cos baby is very active. so kinda reassuring in a way.
i thought everything will be fully developed from 37th week onwards.. read from internet... thanks.. gd luck to u too!Im now 28weeks going 29, and my gynae says my baby is only 0.9kg! haha, he told me the baby will be small size like me, and maybe will be abit over duedate.
hehe.. that s a relief.. thanks
