    Thank you for sharing! There is a serious lack of IUGR labor and delivery experience videos out there- I have been thinking about sharing my story on CZcams, also! I had my IUGR son back in August 2021. I share a lot of similarities with your experience. My son was 5lbs 4oz, too, funny enough!
    Being induced is so exhausting. I wanted an unmedicated birth, but after 18 hours of labor, no good sleep, and being stuck at 5cm for hours, I couldn't take it anymore and got the epidural (which was only working on half my body but it was something!).
    Glad to hear that you and your son are doing well!!

      Oh wow! Very similar stories! I definitely wanted to share mine because, you’re right, there aren’t many iugr stories out there. I didn’t even know what it was when my doctor told me!
      Yes induction is definitely tiring but I’m so thankful for Drs. who know what they’re doing!
      Thank you for sharing your story with me! 😊

    Thank you for sharing this story.
    I am currently 23 weeks pregnant with my first baby (little girl) and due in January. So hearing your story was really helpful for me. I also watched your hospital bag video and that was helpful and gave me ideas on things to pack.

    Congratulations! I am 35 weeks now and my baby is borderline IUGR. Did your doctor up your iron supplement and tell you to eat more red meat/protein? I just want baby to bake longer so I am constantly eating.

      Hey there! I’m sorry I didn’t see this sooner! Unfortunately my doctor said there really wasn’t anything else I could do because something was obviously wrong since he wasn’t growing. So we waited as long as we could to see if he would gain anymore weight but he stalled so that’s when we decided it would be best for the earlier delivery. It was best for him to be out and I could start breastfeeding. Hope you’re doing well and hanging in there!! Good luck!

    My dr saying same thing for me but i cant believe it because my baby has been fine all the way through pregnancy and at 37 weeks they found my baby head and femur was quite small and growing slowly i guess and i was so shocked i didn't knew what to think or say. This happened last week my dr suggests for me to go specialist and check if nothing just got mixed up wrong by the sonographer! Its funny because my baby has been fine and all of a sudden when i had just 3 weeks left i get this news! Its shocking but i am waiting to go to specialist first to see what they want me to do but i do not wanna get a induction 😣😭 i just cant handle that much labour time with induced i heard its more painful to natural labour i also have 2 kids and i never had no problems with them thats why i cant put my head around this im always feeling my baby movements they always strong and she pushing down in my pelvis now and again through the day which i think shes doing that with her hands trying to escape

      I'm so sorry to hear that! Hopefully it was just a wrong reading, but thankfully we have doctors and they'll know how to help you! Hoping everything runs smoothly for the rest of your pregnancy.
