[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an SUA and was monitored weekly, by the end biweekly. Thank goodness for that, they caught something likely caused by it and delivered him early. He was very small, but healthy. Definitely insist on NUMEROUS ultrasounds in your third tri!! [/quote]

Would you mind sharing what they caught? How is your son doing now?[/quote]

Was diagnosed with IUGR and low fluid at 38 weeks and had a c-section due to fetal distress the same day. He was born totally healthy, no chromosomal defects or time in the NICU. I had read that with most SUA pregnancies the doctors want to deliver early (38 weeks) so I wasn’t caught totally off-guard, but the fetal distress obviously worried me and I’m glad they caught it during a “somewhat” routine ultrasound. Without it who knows what would have happened, as I personally felt totally fine all the way to the end. They always say to be your own advocate and to be honest I really wasn’t because I didn’t know what to advocate for (first pregnancy). My doctor (not the MFM) was a rockstar and I credit her for being so proactive and almost what seemed over-the-top - I practically lived at her office the last few weeks. Biggest advice is to find a great doctor that you trust to tell you the right next steps and (hard as it is) don’t stress! [/quote]
