IUGR

Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) is a condition where a baby doesn’t grow at the expected rate in the womb. At Women Care & Infertility Speciality Clinic, we understand the concerns associated with IUGR and offer specialized care to monitor and manage this condition effectively.

Understanding IUGR

IUGR can be caused by various factors, including placental insufficiency, fetal abnormalities, maternal infections, or chronic conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes. It’s essential to identify IUGR early to implement appropriate interventions.

Signs and Symptoms of IUGR

While IUGR often goes unnoticed without regular prenatal check-ups, certain signs might indicate a potential issue. These include:

• Slow fetal growth as measured by ultrasound
• Decreased fetal movement
• Abnormal fetal heart rate patterns

Monitoring and Management

Regular prenatal check-ups, including ultrasound examinations and fetal heart rate monitoring, are crucial for early detection of IUGR. Once diagnosed, we develop a personalized care plan to monitor the baby’s growth and well-being. This may involve:

• Frequent ultrasound examinations to assess fetal growth
• Doppler ultrasound to evaluate blood flow to the placenta
• Biophysical profile to assess fetal health
• Non-stress tests to monitor fetal heart rate
• Amniocentesis (in some cases) to assess fetal lung maturity

Depending on the severity of IUGR and the underlying cause, we may recommend:

• Close monitoring and expectant management
• Dietary changes and supplements
• Medications to improve blood flow to the placenta
• Early delivery if necessary

Delivering Your Baby Safely

The decision to deliver a baby with IUGR depends on several factors, including the severity of the condition, fetal well-being, and gestational age. Our team will carefully evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action.
