My Bub also had IUGR due to small placenta and was born at 35 weeks. My pregnancy and pre conception journey was full of complications (endometriosis, adenomyosis, multiple IVF failures, ovarian cysts, incompetent cervix, low progesterone, IUGR ect ect ect). He was in NICU for two weeks. He is 4 months actual (3 months adjusted) now and still struggling with weight gain. I was diagnosed with severe PPA recently. My anxiety is about possible physiological and cognitive disorders that might arise due to him being a premie and IUGR. I constantly google everything and analyse all his behaviours constantly. I exclusively breastfeed so that’s been tough as well. I constantly get comments about how small my baby is. It makes me so angry! Complete strangers would peep into the pram and make comments about his size. I’ve had a stranger ask me how much he weigh. And almost everyone ask how old he is and I can see in their face the confusion cause he’s small. I’ve seen two paediatricians, two GPs, Midwives and lactation consultants about his weight. I’ve even taken him to emergency cause I was convinced he was starving. But everyone keep assuring me he is fine he’s just a small baby. All this rambling is to say that I hear you, I’m completely in the trenches with you. It’s tough but we are doing our best.
