[quote=Anonymous]By today's standards I would have been classified as having IUGR when I was born at just under 4 pounds at 42 weeks. All of my siblings were small too. My mom had a blood clotting disorder she didn't know about. I'm on lovenox for this pregnancy because I have the same blood clotting disorder. I'm being monitored closely for growth and IUGR. This might be something her doctor will consider down the road if she is interested in testing, but I'm not sure all doctors will think it's an issue. Other things like APS can also contribute to grown restriction through constriction of blood supply in the placenta. It would not hurt for her to get a consult before her next pregnancy, if she is planning on having more children.[/quote]
