Intrauterine Growth Restriction: My Sister’s Experience Part I

Hi and welcome to Part I of a series on my sister’s experience with intrauterine growth restriction. Intrauterine growth restriction, known as IUGR or fetal growth restriction is when a baby in the womb doesn’t grow as expected.

I thought having Hannah share her story might help someone else who is going through a similar situation. We decided to do this series interview style, where I asked Hannah questions and she answered them. This post will detail a bit about Hannah’s background, previous pregnancies, and IUGR diagnosis. Okay, let’s do this!
