IUGR at Week 20

I'm in week 20 and diagnosed with early onset of IUGR. Very worried now as doc told me that I'm likely to deliver prematurely and a matter of how early. I would be grateful to hear any experienced mums with successful stories of babies with IUGR that were eventually born healthy. Any tips to have the baby grow inside me as long as possible?

Oh my goodness, I really feel for you right now because getting that kind of news at 20 weeks must feel so overwhelming and scary. When I was pregnant with my second, I had some growth concerns flagged around a similar time and I remember just crying the whole drive home from the hospital. What helped me most was staying closely in touch with my gynae, going for all the monitoring appointments without skipping a single one, and just resting as much as I could so my body could focus on the baby.
