My son had poor growth the last month in utero and after he was born was labelled an IUGR baby. I felt that he wasn't growing well during that time. Anyhow, I would appreciate any information on this mishap. Office ultrasound is often used to simply assess fluid around the baby and position of the baby. Growth the lags only during the last month of pregnancy is difficult to diagnose.
Most growth retardation begins much earlier.
There is a great difference between growth retarded and small size. These terms can be used incorrectly as interchangeable.
