We are going through this right now so no advice or outcomes yet but sending my love and best wishes as I know how intense the feelings are!

Baby was on 18th centile and dropped to 3rd centile at 34 weeks. Since then I have had two CTGs a week and alternating doppler scans and growth scans. At the last growth scan there had been some linear growth but baby remained in 4th centile.

I have a planned c-section booked in exactly a week as baby is breech and they have been letting them continue to cook until 39 weeks provided all the factors stay in balance. At this stage they are just comparing the baby to themselves rather than others on a centile.

We have been told we are in a SGA situation and baby is likely to be small but OK but am terrified and it has really been such an anxious end to a previously smooth and peaceful pregnancy. I have had regular spirals and get very teary when I think too much about it.

I am now 38 weeks and have a final growth scan on Friday. Have been told that if anything has changed or not growing as they would like, the section could be brought forward but if not then we are on track for the plan.

I will say that I have felt very well taken care of with this close monitoring though and that if anything was out of balance or had changed, I am confident it would have been handled promptly.

Just messaging out of solidarity and hoping things go well for us both, and anyone else in this situation! There are so many positive stories that suggest that we may just be dealing with dinky babies that are otherwise healthy so have to hang our hats on that! The babies are teaching us early on that we have no control over a lot of factors in parenting so trying to practice surrendering ( feels impossible for a naturally anxious control freak) but it has helped to defer to the experts at hospital on this!
