I was indused due to iugr with my now toddler. He was under the 10% at 36 weeks and dropped even further down by the time they indused 2 weeks later. He was also under the 5.8 mark but outher wise fine. We are dealing with a lot of developmental delays and did not catch up in size/weight. Just trying to fit all the pieces together so he gets the proper help .I understand the size issue goes together but what about the delays?

Check for genetic abnormalities, enzyme deficiency, or gluten intolerance

Mine is a couple years older than a toddler. Said child had many great therapists bH which made a huge difference. I still see some weakness in a specific area, but by the time said child turned 6, I felt like there was no gap among the peer group.

2 kids. One gained nicely rapidly after birth leading my OB to think it truly was a placental issue that didn’t show up on ultrasounds- she thrived outside the womb and hit all developmental milestones normally BH. The other is Finally ‘on the chart’ (5th percentile) as a 4 year old. Apparently genetically miniature and nothing to do with my placenta/uterus. Also hit all milestones normally BH.

My 7 year old did not catch up in weight or height yet, she is still catching up with physical delays but she's not that far behind anymore. But she is in a regular class, she graduated therapy even though she still lags a little and other than height I don't think people would notice anything at this point.

DC #2 and #4 were induced early due to IUGR. They are now 5 and 2 years old. The 2 year old is still on the small side (probably about 7-10 percentile height/weight from below zero at birth) and has no delays of any kind. The 5 year old is still very small ( about 2-3 percentile for height/weight which he was at birth), also has gross motor delays which he is catching up on slowly...

My nephew had that and developmentally always lagged behind a little. He’s very smart but socially a bit behind. And he suffers from anxiety and depression now at 18 most prob bec he was bullied a lot in school due to his size.

So definitely there is a genetic possiblity which is why my pediatrician is not crazy worried but we won't know quite yet but my baby is under 1% on the charts so super tiny but the iugr can also play an additional role is what I am thinking

7-10 is good we are under 1% we are doing early intervention but covid makes it not the same I lost a lot of time and it just kinda unfair.

My daughter was diagnosed IUGR fairly early on in the pregnancy. As a young child she was below the 0% which I don't understand how that works mathematically, but she was so far below the curve she was actually off the charts at the bottom. We spent a while getting her checked out by different specialists, seeing a nutritionist, etc. Eventually I point blank asked the pediatrician if we can just stop with all the running around. My daughter was small, yes, but she was having no developmental delays (she developed slowly but at the right pace for each milestone), she wasn't weak or sickly or anything. She was healthy and normal and thriving, just...small.
B"h she's now a bright, beautiful, perfectly healthy preteen.
