Guest guest Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Hi , IUGR stands for Intrauterine Growth Retardation -- meaning slow growth while still in the uterus. It is one of the first indicators of RSS and other growth disorders. Many of the mothers on this list had C-sections (my wife included) because their RSS chld was growing too slow before he/she was even born. I hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 - when you mentioned running tests - who are they being held through? Have you seen a geneticist yet? I suppose I'm probably asking questions that may have already been asked - I'm old and a little forgetful. <grin> - H > > Hello everyone, > > I'm at the beginning of this journey.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 It's good to know that I went thru what others did. I had an unplanned c-section about 2 weeks before was due. the docs couldn't give me a due date because her growth measurments were measuring about a month behind. Her head was right on track.. but her body was measuring smaller. When I had her, the docs found that the placenta wasn't doing it job and the cord was the size of a pencil. No one could give me answers as to why she wasn't growing... i was suppost to be going to some good docs.. but I guess they can't know it all.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 - I can relate. Ian was the same - but, my physicians were morons. His cord was very thin, short and wrapped around his neck twice. I actually saw this " bubble " like picture on my ultrasounds - well - now we all know what it was - The Cord!
