unborn baby not growing.  it is approx. 33 weeks.  doctor told mother if baby doesn't grow by next appointment, they will deliver the baby.  They gave her steriods.

She's not asking a question, she just needs some reassurance and support.

I hope everything goes well for you aml74 and that she grows, if not I hope shes delivered safely and overcomes any problems she may have! Hopes and prayers go out to you

what is the chance that baby will develop to full term?  that there won't be a problem.  If there is a problem what are the possibilities?

Baby continues to move and the heart beat is good.

Doctors are not always right when it comes to the growth of baby's, I know this from personal experience the doctor said with my first son that we wld be lucky to have a 5 to 6 pound baby and he was born 3 days later at 9pounds 4 ounces!! So keep that in mind!! I will keep u in my thoughts!!! Keeps us updated

[JazzJarv]

Agreed ^^ support isnt a one way system on this forum.

Im not sure of the possibilities. Is the baby measuring to the expected requirements? Is dr happy with heartbeat and movement. If dr is satisfied with these 3 things up to date and is not concerned then theres no need to worry so

Just have faith hun...I'm sure your baby will be fine and the doctors will find a way to make things right!!! Believe in your little one and you will be in my thoughts and prayers...good luck :)

It sounds like IUGR, and if that's the case the best would be for baby to be delivered. Baby would have a better chance of survival outside of the womb vs inside. A baby born at 33 weeks has excellent chance of survival and minimal problems!!

I agree with mrsreeder2be, it does sound like a growth restriction issue. Has the doctor mentioned delivering earlier??

[jessicaann21]

I hope everything is okay with you and your baby, i'm sure the doctors will make sure everything goes fine :)

[aml74]

yes there is talk of taking the baby early if the mom doesn't measure bigger.  This is not my self, but family. time will tell how it all plays out.  Thanks everyone for your response.  Appreciate it.
