Four months ago, after a pregnancy that was very stressful due to concerns about DS's size from 20 week scan onwards, I was induced at 37 weeks and gave birth to gorgeous DS who weighed 4lb 5oz. He has grown steadily, remaining around the 0.4th centile and after a few health hiccups (such as inguinal hernia and some concerns about his kidneys) is very happy and healthy, a huge relief.
I wonder what is typical in terms of growth now though - I have heard that IUGR babies catch up but is there any typical growth pattern, should he have jumped up the centiles by now? As long as he is healthy of course we don't care about his size, but I'd be interested in hearing other people's experiences so we know what we can expect....
