Intrauterine Growth Restriction? IUGR detected by u/s Posted: 09-11-03 07:15am
Ok...
I had an u/s done at 34wks. I went to my
doc today (am now 36.5 wks) and was told
that by the measurements taken during the
u/s my son has iugr (intruterine growth
restriction). His head was measuring 36.5
wks, his abdomen was measuring 36.2 wks,
but his femur length was measuring 32.5
wks. And overall his weight and height
are in the 80th percentile.
Does this make any sense??? My doc said
not to stress it because femur length
isn't a cause for grave concern, just
height. But isn't that a contradiction:
if he's in the 80th percentile range for
length??
Doc says he wants another u/s done just to
be sure this isn't the technicians
mistake. I can't help but to worry.
Any advice or answers will greatly be
appreciated. Tia!!
