[quote=Anonymous]Same diagnosis; currently 30+5 weeks FTM.  Baby was underweight at 20 week scan and 33 percentile, and then 86 percentile at 28 week scan.  Got told by MFM to eat more after 20 week scan and to focus on protein especially red meat as slower to digest.  Organs all looked great on both scans.  Next MFM scan is at 34 weeks.

From lab work at that 28 week appt, turns out I also have GD and early onset pre-E ([i]my placenta sucks bad - nothing preexisting to cause this[/i]), so I'm getting extra weekly monitoring for those things starting at 29 weeks, but if I didn't have the other health complications, my MFM said he'd only want to see me one more time (three times total for SUA) given how good everything was looking on the scans.  So far, SUA is the least terrible diagnosis I got, and the last thing my doctors are worried about given how good the baby looks in terms of size, strong heart rate each time, etc.

A friend of mine had SUA, and her DS 14 and massive.  It really is only an issue if you have congenital issues, so get tested for those if you haven't been.  Also check out Shawn Johnson; her daughter had SUA, and she was very vocal about the journal - all is good.

Hope this helps a bit. [/quote]
