Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
At 38 weeks, an asymmetric IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction) baby usually means the baby is small but the brain growth is preserved. Since you are already term and Doppler has been done, your doctor has likely planned the C-section at the right time.
Most babies with asymmetric IUGR do well after birth, especially at 38–39 weeks. After delivery, doctors will monitor:
• Baby’s weight
• Blood sugar levels
• Temperature
• Feeding ability
Many babies catch up in growth over the next few months.
Follow your doctor’s advice, monitor baby movements until delivery, and go to hospital immediately if movements reduce, water breaks, or pain starts.
Try not to worry — at this stage outcomes are generally good with proper monitoring
