In normal practice, it is often expressed as the situation where the fetal biometric parameters measured after the 20th week of pregnancy are in the 10% section that shows the least development, unlike the development line shown by 90% of the general population. Based on this expression, intrauterine growth restriction is diagnosed in 10% of pregnancies. Diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction is associated with increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes and heart disease in the future, and increased risk of disability and death during pregnancy, newborn, childhood and adulthood. For this reason, diagnosis of intrauterine growth restriction during pregnancy follow-up is also important in terms of public health. Infectious agents, chromosomal or <a href=\"https:\/\/serkanoral.com\/en\/what-is-preimplantation-genetic-diagnosis-pgd\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5318\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>genetic<\/strong><\/a> anomalies, hereditary malformations and smoking can cause intrauterine growth restriction. However, the most common cause is the inadequacy of the placenta to ensure the ideal development of the baby, which is called placental insufficiency. IUGR due to placental insufficiency often occurs in the last third of pregnancy as a clinical and biological finding of a vital disease characterized by high blood pressure and protein leakage in the urine, referred to as preeclampsia. Therefore, it is important to monitor the baby&#8217;s development and diagnose intrauterine growth restriction during pregnancy follow-ups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-rox9e70824\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-the-causes-of-fetal-growth-retardation-during-pregnancy\"><\/span>What are the causes of fetal growth retardation during pregnancy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"viewer-usde770826\">If a baby does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients, they will not be able to grow to their full potential.
