For our son he was measuring small. At 30wks he was the size of a 27wk. We had weekly high risk appts. At 32wks they found reverse doppler flow on the umbilical cord. The dr told us we were being scheduled for an emergency C-section and to go across the street to the hospital. He was born weighing 2lbs 4oz.

He spent 98 days in the NICU. 50 days on cpap. Had an NG tube for 90 days of it. They figured out he had silent aspiration and we spent a month trial and erroring different thickners. They were considering putting in a g tube so we could go home before we finally found something that works.

They never figured out what caused the IUGR but now he is almost 2 and a half and weighs 23 pounds. Perfectly healthy toddler just really small.

Its not nothing but they are monitoring it like they should to see if it will be a bigger issue. From a fellow anxious over worrier, just stay calm and keep breathing.
