Intrauterine Growth Restriction: My Sister’s Experience Part IV

Hi and welcome to the fourth part of the IUGR series my sister and I have collaborated on. Part I was an intro to my sister and discussed her third baby’s diagnosis with intrauterine growth restriction, Part II was all about the intense end of Hannah’s pregnancy and Titus’ birth, and Part III explained what the hospital stay was like with a small baby and how it impacted Hannah’s family life.

Today, in Part IV, we’re going to talk about Hannah’s experience bringing Titus home from the hospital!

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!
