Beautiful photo! How did you know the placenta wasn't working??

Hi @Lauren , wanted to ask the same question, how do you know the placenta is not working? xx Btw congratulations, beautiful little one xxx

Congratulations! She’s beautiful! I’m being induced tomorrow because of the same thing so was lovely to see this and see your little girl is perfectly healthy still 🥰 xx

Congratulations 💕

Congratulations ! Same question as above how did you find out about placenta not working and how many weeks ?

Congratulations !! Following to hear how they knew it stopped working ?!

@Kate @Sharon @Mel @Anna Thank you 🎀 Hiya, she has growth restriction my bump hadnt grown since 34 weeks and then at my 36 growth scan her growth had dropped. Scheduled me for another growth scan at 38 weeks at this scan she was measuring exactly the same, so no growth in two weeks and had gone from the 50th percentile at 30 weeks to the 5th at 38 weeks. I had a C-section the following day and they asked me if i was a smoker to which i said no. I asked after and they said parts of my placenta was rotten and it’s lucky they got her out when they did as my placenta was giving up basically. They predicted her 5lbs 3oz and she came out 5lbs 6oz so pretty much bang on with her weight prediction. I didnt have any reduced movements or anything, just growth restrictions. On my scan the blood flow was all fine also 🩷

@Adele thank you! I hope everything goes well for you 🥰 try not to worry im sure your little one will be okay 🩷

@Anna @Sharon @Kate @Mel https://www.pregnancybirthbaby.org.au/amp/article/placental-insufficiency that is the correct term for it xx

@Lauren so happy everything is ok!!!

@Lauren thanks! Can I ask you if you were on aspirin during your pregnancy? And if you were when did you stop?

@Anna i wasnt on asprin no, i havent had pre eclampsia in any previous pregnancies and i had no indication of having it this time either x
