IDEA IUGR AND RSS INFO SURVEY

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I know we have all been comparing stories re IUGR, 2 vessel cord etc.

I would be happy to volunteer to put together a history survey. We

could give the results to MAGIC. If anyone would be interested I

could build this in excel and you would only have to click in a box

with very little typing.

Hi ,

I delivered Jordan at 40 weeks via C-section. I had a oligohydramnious - low

amniotic fluid, hardly any fetal movement throughout the pregnancy, and I was

told in passing by the sono tech that his abdominal circumference was small

compared to the rest of body. Jordan was 5 lbs 18 inches at birth. He was a

poor eater from day 1 and they just felt it was due to the fact that he was

small. Now it comes to mind that one of the nurses was a bit upset that it took

so long to feed him when she wanted me to have him in my room at night instead

of in the nursery. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

I think this is a great idea..I would be intrested to see all of the

info condensed on a spreadsheet so we could see what the common

factors were!

Interesting data to compare... If someone is making a database of this info,

I'd love to

have it when complete!

AT LAB

> ultrasounds? TOO MANY TO COUNT FROM 18-28 WEEKS (HAD 3 PER WEEK AT END)

> age in weeks/gestational age? 28 WEEKS, 3 DAYS

> low water/oligohydramnios - OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS

> C/Sections vs normal vaginal births - C-SECTION

>Non-stress tests? How often? etc. 3 TIMES PER WEEK IN LAST 2 WEEKS OF PREGNANCY
