HG and diagnosed with FGR at 28 weeks… anyone have experience with this?
Pretty much what the title says… I’m in my third trimester and had a growth scan yesterday because my belly measured small. I am a small person, only 4’10 and about 96lbs pre pregnancy, and my last pregnancy was the same. My belly measured small but baby measured on track during scans.
This time baby is only in the third percentile… I have to come back for weekly scans and to check heart rate and fetal movement and may have to be induced. None of my blood work is indicating that I had any kind of infection during pregnancy that could have crossed the placenta and I had genetic testing done in the beginning and our chances for any issues were all incredibly low risk… I’m just feeling scared because this didn’t happen with my last HG pregnancy. Any other mamas experience this? I did get Flu A and was hospitalized with pneumonia around 22 weeks and then got Covid around 25 weeks but my doctor said that I would have had to have them in the first trimester for them to cause Fetal Growth Restriction.
I’m just looking for reassurance. I’m not scared to be induced but I am scared for my baby’s wellbeing. I am doing everything I can, drinking boost, trying to eat higher protein meals and snacks when I can… I hate HG so much. This pregnancy has been the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through.
