Brief Answer:
No,Your baby is no more an IUGR baby
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for asking on this platform
It's really good to know about the growth of your baby.
As I remember I have mentioned in your previous query that according to the weight,height and head circumference your baby does not fit into the criteria of IUGR.
I would again repeat that don't get overly worried and don't run behind the fetal ultrasound report.
The estimation of fetal ultrasound is not very accurate even when done by a good so no logistics.
It's the birth weight which decides whether baby is an IUGR baby or normal one.
I agree with your doctor.The growth at one month is pretty good and I really appreciate your way of care.
I would again say that you need not to worry regarding the future physician and neurological development.
I hope this helps.
If you have any more doubts please let me know.
Wish your baby a good health.
Regards
