Placental insufficiency is a condition of pregnancy in which the placenta cannot supply the baby with enough oxygen and nutrients for optimal development.

Common causes: It may be associated with disorders in the placenta's blood vessels, high blood pressure during pregnancy, or other factors that affect maternal-fetal circulation.

Possible signs: At times it is related to lower-than-expected fetal growth or changes in the baby's movements, findings that are usually detected during prenatal check-ups.

Which specialist treats it? Follow-up of placental insufficiency corresponds to the gynecologist, who monitors the pregnancy, while the pediatrician accompanies the evaluation of the newborn. If you have doubts about your pregnancy, it is advisable to discuss them during your check-ups for a timely evaluation.
