Just came home from my doctors
appointment.
My doctor says that i have Intra Uterine
Growth Retardation. 
She has stopped growing so i have to be
induced!!!!  Her heart beat is
still strong, still very active but she
will just be a little on the small side!!
i will be 27 weeks and 5 days when i go
into hospital. Hopefully by the 10th
december Gracie will be here with us.
Just thought you all might want to know!!

I hope they are giving her steriods or
something. I thought that you were further
along than that.
Good luck and I will be praying for her
and you.

I was thinking the same thing...I thought
you were due end of December? Maybe I'm
confused. Hope everything goes well and
you'll be in my thoughts.

Phew...I was about to say...."I could've
sworn you were due soon!". She'll be here
soon and hopefully there's something they
can do to help your baby girl.  (((hugs)))

Induction would be the safest decision in
this situation.. No worries and best of
luck!

good luck! i'm sure she'll be fine!
i think that's what happened with zanny.
her baby stopped growing and she was
induced. i'm pretty sure that jenny was
perfectly healthy when she was born, just
tiny.

i'm abit of a stress head so i'm trying to
stay calm. Stephen is surprising excited
that he will get to see her earlier than
expected! still concerned of course but
excited!! Me?....i'm totally beside
myself.
doc estimates that she will be in the 5
pound area.
Thank you all for your well wishes!! i'm
sure she will be just fine!

Poor little Gracie! Jenny stopped growing
and Zanny was induced - she was a teeny
little thing, but healthy! I'm sure
everything will be fine. Please keep us
updated!

Don't stress too much. My water broke at
35 weeks and my baby was born 4lbs 10oz.
He was tiny but healthy. He actually went
home with me because there was no need to
keep him longer. Good luck and
congratulations
