I am 34 weeks pregnant and my baby has been 3lbs 10ozs since i was 32 weeks along. Is there something wrong? My doctors say to be very careful but wont give me any information on what is wrong. They also say that my placenta is too small and sound all concerned but wont answer any of my questions? Can you help me?
Hi, Low baby weight and small placenta at 34 weeks require detailed evaluation and an ultrasound Doppler to check for blood flow in placenta. And if changes are present delivery can be planned and considered either immediately or by 37 weeks depending on the babies condition. Also baby growth weekly and amniotic fluid levels need to be checked along with fetal heart tracing. Contact your obstetrician immediately. Hope this helps. Regards.
