Intrauterine Growth Restriction

Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR), also known as fetal growth restriction, is a condition characterized by poor or stunted growth of a baby in the womb due to various factors such as maternal, fetal, or placental complications, including lack of oxygen and nutrients to the placenta, high altitude, placenta problems, preeclampsia/eclampsia, or multiple pregnancies like twins or triplets. The condition is marked by clinical signs of malnutrition and reduced growth, regardless of the infant's birth weight percentile.
