Fetal growth restriction (FGR) refers to a condition in which a fetus is not growing at the expected rate in the womb. This can result from various factors such as maternal health conditions, placental abnormalities, genetic factors, or nutritional deficiencies. FGR can lead to complications during pregnancy and affect the long-term health of the baby, including an increased risk of stillbirth, preterm birth, and developmental delays. Research in this area aims to better understand the causes of FGR, develop strategies for early detection and management, and improve outcomes for affected pregnancies.
