Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR): A condition where the fetus is smaller than expected for the gestational age. Macrosomia: Excessive fetal growth that can complicate delivery. Skeletal Dysplasias: A group of disorders that affect bone growth, leading to abnormalities in the length and shape of bones.
