It seemed as though all the information pertained to IUGR babies who were also preemies. When I went to the web, I was hoping for women who had similar situations, but it seemed it was a lot of "my baby was IUGR too, born at 2lbs in my 30 week" or something along those lines. It was very difficult to find info on IUGR babies who weren't very early like that. Even the NICU doctors took some time trying to find information (but I must say, they persisted!)

Yes, about 1-2 times a week fo three months!

With my first, yes which develeped into pre-eclampsia, but with my second it was high, but not unusually so. Even so, they put me on baby asprin, they were willing to try anything. Otherwise, I met none of the "risk factors"
