Is Hermin Injection The Right Treatment For Growth Of The Baby In 32 Weeks Of Pregnancy?
Hi, i am 32 weeks twin pregnant. In my last scan, which i done in 31 weeks, my dr found that my babies growth was 2 weeks back(29weeks). now she prescribed me hermin injection 200ml twice in a week. kindly advice is it right treatment for growth and what was the causes of IUGR
Dear member, Thanks for writing to healthcare magic. Iugr is common in twin pregnancy as both fetus are competing for nutrition from mother. as you have undergone only one scan which shows a 3 week lag and early iugr plan will be to wait for 3 weeks since last scan and recheck for growth. if the babies are growing and gaining weight though less than a single pregnancy it is still ok. Usually a amniotic fluid index is also done along with fetal vessel Doppler due ultrasound. If the tests are normal then pregnancy is continued with closer monitoring. Hermin has been used for treatment in low birth weight fetuses. Thanks. Dr Bhagyashree.
