Growth of the baby lagging by two weeks suggests intrauterine growth restriction. Good thing is that you have already more than 35 weeks and baby has a weight of above 2 kgs. A high protein diet will help the baby grow. Include egg white ,soy chunks in your diet and drink a lot of liquids. You need a Doppler ultrasound which will help us know the about the blood flow to the baby. Due to Breech position you will mostly land up in a caaserean sextion. After 34 weeks it is unlikely that the baby will change its position. All the best . For any further questions and discussion on your condition consult me.

Intrauterine growth restriction happens due to many reasons. It can be foetal , placental or maternal I guess when it was picked up2 weeks earlier, some treatment was started Along with IUGR water around baby also starts decreasing All indicates delivery of baby by c section n then taking care of newborn outside womb

Hi. The baby is lagging by two weeks indicating IUGR . AfI is normal which is a good sign . Doppler study will help in deciding the delivery time . Mean while continue the treatment as advised . Breech presentation with IUGR , most probably it will be CS .

Gestational age: We count exact gestational age as per 1st sonography. Delayed Conception: Some times due to delayed ovulation, there is late conception. So in such cases, pregnancy shows 2 weeks lag throughout scans. Feta growth restriction(FGR): When conception is not delayed and all ur previous scans show normal growth and in recent scan if growth lagging 2 weeks that means fetus facing Growth restriction. Reason of FGR: Multifactorial. Need detailed history and all scan reports to study. Less baby movements: As baby grows, baby doesnt have space to move completely. So some times u perceive less movements.  But same time if Baby has growth restriction and less movements then its alarming. Keep Baby kick count chart. Baby Kick count: Make a chart for 1 hour after Breakfast, 1 hour after lunch and 1 hour after dinner. (When u have ur food, ur sugar levels elivate and ultimately jr baby becomes more active. So we advice to do kick count after consuming food or sweet or liquids) WHO recommended: 2 hours or fewer than 10 distinct movements are felt within 12 hours (the Cardiff “count to ten” method). Breech position: at 33weeks if baby us in breech position then it is less likely to go in vertex position now. If this is ir 1st pregnancy and its breech then u will require C-section. Please message for any other issues. We are here to help always.
