Patient's Query

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.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I would like to know, is amino infusion along with Orofer necessary for hemoglobin of 10.40 g/dL? Is it fine to have two weeks gap between a scan? Please guide me.

Answered by Dr. Richa Agarwal

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

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.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
