intra-uterine growth restriction
Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR), also referred to as fetal growth restriction, is a condition in which a baby doesn’t grow to a normal weight during the pregnancy. This means that the baby is smaller than expected for the number of weeks of pregnancy. By Dr Kim Sonntag, MBChB (UCT) Dip Obs (SA) FCOG (SA) MMed (UCT)
