The baby wasn't growing enough inside her. He was worryingly small for months. My co-worker's mother had had the same problem with her. They were going to take him out in December (he had an early January due date). And then all of a sudden, at almost the last second, he started growing.

eta: I forgot to say, best wishes for the mother and baby! I'll be sending out good thoughts.
