29 Week Growth Scan

.
We had another growth scan yesterday, and although the babies haven't experienced a growth spurt per se, I am nonetheless reassured by the results. Both babies' abdominal circumferences
measured in the 2.5th percentile (which is a further decline for Baby B). However, Baby B's estimated fetal weight was holding steady at the 38th percentile, and Baby A's estimated fetal weight actually climbed three points to the 25th percentile. They are definitely holding their own, and most importantly, they are not falling further behind. The high risk OB even said that he is beginning to think the babies are simply small for gestational age rather than growth restricted! I never thought I would be so happy about my babies being below average, but after the past six weeks, I consider this good news. The positive growth scan combined with the fact that we are only days away from the point at which the babies would have better than a 90% chance of survival have me feeling more at ease than I have since before the subchorionic hemorrhage. I'll take it!
