So we had our appointment with the perinatologist and things look good over all. His heart looks perfectly healthy which is great. He is "at the early stages of growth restriction" per the doc. He was an extremely light hearted doctor and sounded very promising. Baby's growth stayed pretty consistent from the last ultrasound two weeks ago. His weight is in the 11th percentile, head is average/bigger, and arm and femur quite small (like the 3rd percentile) though the doctor did not seem concerned at all. He said that is what baby should be doing if there is some growth restriction, which there is. He weighed in at 5lbs today.
The belly/head ratio was at the very top end of normal, as was the umbilical cord flow.
Baby is head down, his butt is under my left rib, and his feet are under my right just how Gabs was.
From the way he sounded, I'm pretty sure they will definitely not let me go past my due date at all. Still sounding like an induction at some point, it's just figuring out when. I'm going back to my regular OB and I'll be having weekly non-stress tests and fluid ultrasounds to check up on the little one. I go back to my OB for a check up on Monday, so we'll see what she says. Over all, very good day.
