Nancy, I certainly feel bad for you in that you are in a difficult place. My reservation comes in not having a diagnosis. Certainly there can be syndromic things that will have normal chromosomes and cause this kind of thing. Also there are skeletal dysplasias that can also cause this with a normal karyotype. You have to understand that you do not have to have an induction. Another option would be to manage things expectantly and see what happens. The growth issue is a big item. Depending on the solidarity of the dating, there is a variation of 1+ weeks at this gestational age. If the dates are not solidly accurate, then the growth restriction may not be as pronounced as thought. I would just make sure that the calculations and comparisons are being made appropriately...
