Hi, Elizabeth! My son is now seven. He was a bit behind on his physical milestones and then we did early intervention before he turned three, which helped immensely. Right now, he’s a very bright (still small) child without any major issues. He does have some airway/tongue/teeth issues we are dealing with right now, but I’m not sure if that’s directly related to the the IUGR.

just wondering how your IUGR baby/child is going now?

how was his developmental milestones ?
did he reach them in time or a bit behind ?
my IUGR baby is now 13 months and seems to be a bit behind in his developement specifically communication and receptive language etc
would love to hear an update.

So sorry about your loss 🙁 It is very possible to have a normal pregnancy after an IUGR pregnancy but much depends on the cause of the IUGR. I would counsel with your doctor about the risks. My third pregnancy was not IUGR.

I had given birth to my son in march 2022,it was earlier delievery because my baby was suffering from severe iugr.i was 32 weeks pregnant but in ultrasound i was 26 weeks gestation age.i was lacking 6 weeks,and very low amniotic fluid,doctor said to admit in the hospital for early delievery because chances of survival is not there.baby moment was very sluggish which i cant feel and heartbeat also decreased at last ultrasound before delievery.He is no more.I miss him everyday every second.I had no information about iugr before.In my pregnancy i cane to know..I want to be pregnant again with healthy pregnancy.i want to ask if someone had their first pregnancy iugr.then 2nd will not have the same problem.2nd pregnancy will fine.??please reply

Hi! I just did a calculation to lbs and ounces, and it sounds like baby is gaining in the realm of normal. Definitely reach out to a health care provider to see if they can offer support over the phone <3

We tried both omeprazole and zantac. Omeprazole worked the best!

I’m so sorry your granddaughter went through this! I hope everything turned out okay.

Congrats on your new baby! It’s so hard to have something be wrong, but all will be well. Breastfeeding is a great option – so don’t give up! 🙂 Oliver is four now and doing wonderfully. We did have to do some early intervention last year for a few delays (primarily gross motor and some speech. He was always a few months behind on meeting physical milestones) but he’s totally caught up now and thriving. I remember during his first few months feeling like there was no end in sight with our trials – but he’s doing great. And I know your son will, too!
