27 weeks and Baby or Tummy not growing

I am 27 weeks pregnant and I am having lots of trouble with the pregnancy. Now the doctor is saying (she) the baby isnt gaining weight any more and its a possibilty I may lose the her. I have been spotting and having cramps for the pass month and I think its coming to the end. Need advice what am I suppose to do the doctor says wait to see what happens. if the she do passes what do I do should I take her to the hospital or what I never been through this before!!! Even though I am 27 weeks the U/S says shes measuring at 23 weeks omg I am freaking out she is so small and precious I am scared what do I do.

Im sorry to hear whats happening to u and ur baby keegee, please please PLEASE go to ER asap. Open ur mouth shout do what it takes to get heard. I lost my baby at 34 weeks (im sure alot of u heard too many times now sorry) but when I measured small the midwife told me wait 2 weeks and it was too late. If ur baby is measuring 23cm/weeks at 27 weeks that way out, a cm or 2 at most. I measured 30cm on stomach. There must be something they can do dont wait, try not to stress (impossible I know) but get a new dr. Things might not take the turn for the worse but I think u need to be admitted and watched 24/7. All the best my prayers are with you (HUGS) eat as much good stuff veg fruit healthy stuff as u can. Let us know how u are.

you need a second opinion immediately.  when pregnant with my son they were concerned with intrauterine growth retardation and didn't waste anytime getting me into a specialist.  If your baby is not growing immediate attention is essential. Go to the ER or start calling other Dr's if yours won't help.

The doctor recommended bedrest and I also go see a specialist but have to wait till next week so I am scared. The baby heart beat isnt strong but she is moving vigorously which is shocking. I thought the baby suppose to be fullterm in FL to have a birth/death certificate.

I believe it is after the completion of 20 full weeks. If the baby is born alive and then dies it will receive a birth and death certificate. If the baby is born dead after 20 weeks it is called a stillborn. Are you from FL?

Get another opinion...My cousin was having similar problems around the same time.  We are only a week apart.  Her baby wasn't growing and the doctor was concerned.  She went to see someone else (I think she saw a specialist, but it was like the same day the doctor told her about the weight gain and the baby's heart beat) and it turned out everything was fine.  It was just that her baby was going to be a small baby not like her previous two.  She is now 38 weeks and is being induced on Monday!  So I would see someone else and get another opinion as soon as you can just to make sure everything is ok!  Good luck!

Did the dr. not recommend strict bed rest? Maybe go to the hospital? I can't believe they are not addressing the situation immediately. I think after that amount of time you have to have a death certificate and everything, no? Well, I would go to a new dr. if I were you. I hope all works out, keep us posted!

I agree with the previous ladies in going to the labor and delivery ward at your hospital. They need to keep a close eye on you and your little one.  I will truely be praying for you. I can't imagine what you are going through right now.

If you arent willing to go to l&d, at least go to another doc. Tell them it is an emergency and you need a second opinion ASAP!

I would spend most of my time in bed.. and not try to stress out.
Ask your husband or B/F to help with things around the house so you can get your rest.
Personally I would go to the ER or see another doctor.
Take care and keep us posted...
My prayers are with you..
