Diagnosis typically involves a combination of methods:
Ultrasound: Used to monitor fetal growth and check for any abnormalities in the placenta. Doppler Flow Studies: Assess blood flow in the umbilical artery to the placenta. Non-Stress Test (NST): Monitors the fetus's heart rate and movements. Biophysical Profile (BPP): Combines an ultrasound with an NST for a comprehensive assessment.
