Intrauterine Growth Restriction
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Intrauterine growth restriction refers to a baby's development within the uterus falling below what is expected for its gestational age, which can be detected during pregnancy monitoring.
How it is identified: it is usually noticed during prenatal checkups and ultrasounds, which compare the baby's size and growth with what is expected.
Associated factors: conditions of the placenta, maternal health, or characteristics specific to the pregnancy.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist provides follow-up during pregnancy, while the neonatologist and the pediatrician care for the newborn after delivery. Keeping up with consistent prenatal care and discussing any concern with these professionals supports careful monitoring.
