C Section tomorrow 33+5 after growth scan

[Laurend0603]

Hi everyone
I went for a growth scan today my first one and there was no fluid round baby and resistance of chord not pumping how they would hoped they have predicted weight of 3.5lb on the 3rd centile....the consultant said best to get baby out and feeding etc as doesnt want to leave her in there...first thing I asked was the survival and he was like not worried at all said am at a good gestation and heartbeat and trace are all good...feeling quite calm but cant sleep at all!!!
Anyone been through similar?

Wishing you all the best❤

All the best! Assume you’re having some steroids too. Outcomes are really good at 34 weeks and your baby will be very well looked after - hopefully not needing to stay too long in the newborn unit.

I haven't, but good luck! I don't know if you've had a c section before, but it's absolutely nothing to be worried about. All the best

The premature board has of experienced folks.

At 33 weeks your baby should experience very few if any long term problems. C sections aren't so bad either, just take those painkillers! All the best with your new arrival.

Born today at 12.51 3.8lb.. bit of a rush as heartrate dipped but she is breathing totally on her own with no need for support and making suckng motions...just in NICU for obvs Dh Has gone down now to see her I can go when numbness goes xx

Congratulations! I hope you have a speedy recovery and get to see her soon.

Congratulations she's beautiful

Oh she's lovely! I hope you're doing okay too

Me

I had 2 babies with IUGR. My first weighed like a 26 weeker. At 32 weeks. My second weighed a 30 weeker at 35 weeks.

Both needed time in neo natal xxx please pm me if you’d want more info xx or a hand hold xx

My first was 2lbs. My second was 3lbs

But mine did have very severe IUGR. Most 33 workers are around 3.5lbs. So if you’re close to that. You’re good

Some babies do better outside the womb as did mine

Oh. Congrats. Fabulous weight!!!!!!

Massive congratulations xx

Congratulations op! She's lovely

Wow I am so happy for you! The baby looks wonderful! I am getting induced because the baby is too small and not growing in there. I feel so positive and hopeful after seeing your baby as mine is of similar weight. Congratulations to you!!! 😍

Congratulations!! To think she’s been born a year earlier that expected!!

Congratulations! She's lovely. Take all the drugs you're offered

Oh, look at her! She's perfect, just gorgeous. Congrats!

Congratulations. Sounds like she is doing really well. My 2 premature babies (35+3 and 36+6) both needed cpap, drips, oxygen etc.

Congratulations! ♥️

I was born at the same gestation myself with restricted growth issues and have never had any problems from it. I had a premature baby after growth issues myself (completely unrelated, different issues) and he is a healthy two year old.

Ah wow she's absolutely perfect 😍 congratulations!

Congratulations, she's beautiful. Both of mine were iugr babies. 33+2 weeks weighing 2lbs 14oz and a 36 weeker weighing 5lbs 3oz . Both are happy and healthy now. My 33 weeker had a 5 week hospital stay but he had some feeding issues but that's pretty uncommon most stays are about 3 weeks at that gestation.
Survival rate is in the high 90s so just focus on how well your little girl is doing. Premies are called superheros for a reason.

@Laurend0603 oh congratulations, what a beautiful, perfect little dot 😍. I hope you’re recovering well and she’s not in NICU for too long.

Well done, congratulations to you all. She's perfect.

Thanks everyone!! Her breathing is perfect and she is at 95 satuartion (100 is the hgihest) so they are really happy with this...she cant control her own glucose/sugars yet and these are low they make it sound scary but seems common and treatable they have her on antiobioctics incase it's due to an infection and will have bloods tomorrow she said sometimes feel like good days and bad days but they are really happy with her they will just get her on a feeding plan when they can to gain weight..they said I will be home at weekend she will be here for 4 weeks ish and hope to have her home for xmas...I feel ok being at home recovering and can come see her every day xxx
