IUGR & early pre-e
Just looking for others experiences or happy for any advice on getting through.
TLDR- likely early pre-eclampsia causing placenta issues, growth restriction. Feels like my doctors aren’t taking it seriously because my BP isn’t elevated enough and I haven’t had headaches.
Friday at my 31w5d MFM scan, they caught that one of my di/di boys, Twin B, has fallen behind in growth, from 39th percentile 4 weeks ago to 7th percentile. Their size discordance is 35.3%. Basically Twin A is measuring 2 weeks ahead and Twin B is measuring 2 weeks behind. They found that “Umbilical artery Dopplers are abnormal with an S/D at >99th percentile. There is evidence for continuous forward diastolic flow.” They admitted me to the hospital immediately for steroid shots and monitoring, where they then caught early signs of pre-eclampsia through bloodwork and urine labs; i haven’t had the traditional symptoms of headaches and my blood pressure readings have all been normal, but climbing a bit higher incrementally.
After 38 hours they re-checked the Doppler ultrasounds and they said things were stable and released me with 2-3x a week monitoring. Looking at the results myself, I noticed Twin A’s dopplers weren’t exactly normal either and I’m bothered they didn’t mention it.
I don’t really know how to process this sudden combination when everything has been going completely normally so far, other than a little anemia. I’m feeling like crap and have a bunch of weird symptoms but feel really brushed off by my providers just because my BP is below 140/90.
Did anyone have a similar experiences to share? It all feels so out of left field and I don’t know what to do.
