Update Baby's growth--any thoughts?From: kdouma (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 28 Jan 2000 08:40:10 -0600 (CST)
To recap: At 28 wks an ultrasound showed that the baby's growth was "right on the money." At 32 wks, the baby had dropped to the 21st percentile and its abdomen was behind by about 1 wk. At 34 wks (yesterday)the baby is now in the 14th percentile and the abdomen is 2wks behind. The baby had gained about 250 grams over the last 2 weeks. The NST was fine from what the doctor said, the sonographer saw lots of "breathing" and the fluid is at 6.5(?) I realize that this is probably a problem with the placenta. My question is, at what point, if any, will they decide to deliver the baby. I asked my doctor about this, but he wouldn't really give me an answer. He said that the criteria changes the farther you are along. Any information so that I know what to expect would be comforting. Also, just in general, from the information I have given, how serious is this. A couple of people have told me that the baby will be small, but will do fine. As background, I was being followed closely because of a history of preterm labor and severe preeclampsia. I also took progesterone at the beginning of this pregnancy, and my anticardiolipin antibodies are "borderline."
