What is intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and its implications?
Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition where the fetus is smaller than expected for the number of weeks of pregnancy. It can result from various factors, including placental issues, maternal health problems, or genetic conditions. IUGR increases the risk of complications during delivery and long-term health issues for the baby. Close monitoring and early delivery may be necessary.
