Intrauterine Growth Restriction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
We speak of intrauterine growth restriction when the baby does not reach the expected size within the uterus for its gestational age. It is a pregnancy condition that requires closer monitoring to closely follow the baby's development.
How it is detected: through prenatal care and imaging studies that measure the baby's growth and assess its well-being within the uterus.
When to see a doctor? Always within consistent prenatal care, and immediately if changes in the baby's movements or any sign that causes concern are noticed.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist follows up on the progression of the pregnancy, and after birth the neonatologist and the pediatrician may be involved as needed. Maintaining close and regular prenatal care is the best way to closely monitor the baby's development and act in time.
