Dr. Ahdoot recalls the risks for women with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
Dr. Ahdoot:
They need to know that depending on how good of physical health they are, their risks for intrauterine growth retardation can be different. If they have multiple gestations, that’s one of the things we monitor for. Advanced maternal age or hypertension or diabetes, that’s one of the things we monitor for.
Every time you see your doctor for prenatal care they measure your abdomen to see if the growth is normal. If there’s a question, we get an ultrasound to see if the growth is normal. If you have decreased fetal movement or if you feel like your subsequent pregnancies the growth is just not the same as your last pregnancy, please share that with your physician.
