Fetal Undergrowth
Fetal Undergrowth


more about Fetal Undergrowth


Description

Fetal undergrowth has been defined as the group of newborns occupying less than 10% frequency of the body weight percentage. But recently, after considering the mother's race, number of deliveries, body weight, and height, about 20-60% of the less than 10% group babies are known to grow normally later. Babies with growth problems have a high chance of contracting such fetal diseases as fetal asphyxia, hypoglycemia, and hypothermia. The following are factors in causing fetal undergrowth in infants.

Description

  • Family factor: if the mother's small in stature, and has a small skeletal structure, the infant can be small too, and this can't be seen as abnormal
  • Insufficient nutrition of the mother: insufficient weight gain between 14-15 weeks and 30 weeks, and undernourishment are causes
  • Mother's smoking, drinking, and drug abuse
  • Fetal infection: the fetus was infected by bacteria, virus, or parasites in the uterus
  • Congenital deformity
  • Fetal bone disease
  • Exposure to chemicals: cigarettes, alcohol, painkillers, drugs, etc.
  • Blood vessel disease of the mother
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Hypoxia: heart disease, alpine area
  • Anemia of the mother
  • Placenta and umbilical cord deformation
  • Twins
