Honestly - - not muc: With an IUGR (growth restricted fetus) it is a matter of watching - and HONESTLY - I would have her Admitted to the Hospital - and have biweekly BPP's with Dopplers, and Deliver at 32 weeks or sooner - and if this is a Symmetic IUGR this is worse then an Asymmetric IUGR - so honestly she needs Admission to a high risk ob unit with a GOOD NICU And she should have steroids done for the longs and Mg

Consult an MFM doc: Would be wise to consult a Maternal-Fetal-Medicine specialist ASAP to determine what may be causing a "fetal growth restriction and seek ways to monitor the pregnancy more closely.
