Talk to experienced gynaecologist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Late-pregnancy growth restriction is followed exactly with serial scans and Dopplers, and your obstetrician is doing what standard protocols recommend when deciding wait versus deliver. That call depends on many findings together, not any single number, and only your treating team can weigh them properly.
Next Steps
Please write down your worries and go through them with your obstetrician at the next scan; ask what signs will change the plan.
Health Tips
If you notice reduced fetal movements, bleeding or leaking, or severe headache, go in that day.
