Fetal Growth Restriction
Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) is a condition where a fetus does not grow to its expected size during pregnancy. This can occur due to various factors, including problems with the placenta, maternal health issues, or genetic conditions. FGR can lead to complications for both the baby and the mother, making monitoring essential.
Diagnosis of FGR typically involves ultrasound examinations to measure the fetus's growth and assess amniotic fluid levels. Early detection allows healthcare providers to manage the pregnancy more effectively, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the mother and the baby.
