How Can A IUGR Baby In The Next Pregnancy Be Prevented?
Hi, my wife delivered a IUGR baby last month @33 weeks. The baby was died after 24 hours. The doctor had attended her informed IUGR due to severe oligohydromonious.
When can ourselves plan for next baby?. Will IUGR repeat next pregnancy also?. What are the preventive cares to be taken.

Hi, I think you can take some precautions in next pregnancy. Go for frequent anc checkups. Do a growth scan starting from 26 weeks. Take plenty of fluids. Get her blood pressure checked at regular intervals. Also do a thyroid profile. IUGR is not a recurrent condition, but it can happen next time also if complications are there. Discuss in detail with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question.
