Does low fetal weight cause early termination of pregnancy?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am 28 weeks pregnant (post IUI). Recently I got my growth scan done and it showed GA by LMP 29 weeks 3 days whereas GA by USG 28 weeks 2 days. Fetal body weight of 2.48 lbs and with a slight impression of asymmetrical IUGR. I am much worried about this 1 week 1 day gap between USG and low weight of the fetus. Can this gap be covered in the next USG, which I would be undergoing after ten days? My doctor gave injection Alamin-SN intravenously and one ampule injection Orofer since my hemoglobin was 10.40 g/dL. At present I am taking capsule Mcbm Dha, Ferium-XT, LRzin sachet and Wowmino sachet.

I wish to undergo a planned C-section delivery. Will that be possible considering my latest USG scan? Or do I have to terminate my pregnancy by delivering earlier? I would like to know whether I am receiving the right treatment or not. Kindly have a look on my amino infusion and guide me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your medical history and in my opinion one week difference may occur and can be considered a normal change. Your baby weight is fine and you are taking appropriate dose of amino acid and other medicines. Have a balanced and protein rich diet which includes apple, banana, jaggery, spinach and take medicines on regular interval. Do not take too much stress. You will be able to get your C-section done on planned date. Relax and enjoy your motherhood.

Hi,

Yes, two weeks gap between a scan is normal. As you have conceived after IUI (intrauterine insemination), she is concerned. Your hemoglobin is not too low; hence there is no need for any amino infusion and injection Orofer. You can take Iron tablets and Arginine sachet which is more than sufficient.
