What Is Meant By Head And Abdomen Are Consistently Small During 33rd Week?
I am 33 weeks pregnant and my babies head and abdomen are consistently small. Her head is in the 7th % and her abdomen is in the 11th%. I am very concerned, but have received no definitive answers as to what I can expect once she is born. I am being monitored weekly, but I just want to know what this could mean for my baby and what to prepare myself for once she is born.
Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic I have gone through your question and I understood your problem. From whatever you are saying its clear that your baby has IUGR.(Intrauterine growth retardation.)for which you are already being monitored. When a woman learns that her baby has or might have IUGR, the best thing she can do is to keep all of her prenatal visits and testing appointments and follow her health care provider's recommendations. She also should take care of herself by eating a healthy diet; getting enough sleep; and avoiding alcohol, drugs, and tobacco.Hope this solves your doubts. Thank you.
