IUGR + low amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios)

[justagirlfromwales]

Hi! I'm currently 32+4 weeks pregnant and at found out last week that baby hadn't grown from the 29 week scan and his fluid was low. They arranged 2 x weekly scans one for fluid one for growth, daily monitoring and consultant once a week, and when I went to my first fluid scan yesterday the fluid had dropped even more from 3.1cm to 1.7cm, so they have diagnosed me with oligohydramnios and IUGR as he still isn't growing - measuring 29 weeks and weighing 3lb exactly.

I've now been admitted since last night and will be here until baby gets here due to high risk. I have another scan Friday and see my consultant, and her team will decide whether to deliver him at 33+1 on Friday or try and get to a week this Thursday 34 weeks.

Feeling very emotionally drained and missing my 14 month old so much already

Please could you share your experiences with low fluid, IUGR and how far along you got before babies were born at what weight?

Thanks so much x

Thank you very much! We've been discharged now until tomorrow (Weds 21st) morning when I have my growth scan and see my consultant and she will make a plan from there depending on if he's growing or not and how the fluid levels are x

Still hanging in there then 😊 Glad to hear you’ve at least escaped until tomorrow, wishing you a safe delivery of your little boy x
