Hello Fabienne, hope you're still around...

We are French too, and have a similar case to submit to your experience... 2 weeks ago, during our routine 5th month ultrasound, A severe oligoamnios was diagnosed together with a IUGR (2 cm in the amnios "big cavity" and 4 weeks late in growth). Now, After 10 days of complete mother resting (except a bit of parent distress..), there is still no improvement. Both umbilical and cerebral doppler are pathologic (reverse flow for umbilical seen once then not seen then seen, and cerebral IR measured at 0,68). The medical Staff (Marseille CHR prenatal diagnostic center) is very pessimistic and are telling us to think about termination... This is quite a lot for us because this is the 3rd pregnancy with no success (2 previous "incidents" : at 5 monts with the same symptoms, then at 2 months...) And I don't think we will be able to find anywhere any more reason to believe in Mother Nature once more. We are now looking for further advice.. We have heard in your last mail that your case appears to be a 3,2 kg baby, and in -We can't remember who- mail that the technique could outstrip doctors knowledge...

Thanks for your help,

A&O

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
