Summary
Today I'm diving deep on fetal growth restriction (AKA intrauterine growth restriction), how we screen for it, how it affects baby, and more. This doesn't happen too often, but as with most things I talk about it's great for you to be prepared and knowledgeable in case it does. We'll also talk about what happens if your baby is just naturally small and what can happen later on in life for a baby with growth restriction.

| 1:58.2 | intrauterine growth restriction. So what fetal growth restriction is, and it's not |
| 2:02.5 | exactly straightforward or universal what the definition is, you'll learn the risk associated with fetal |
