1 Recommendations

At your antenatal appointments, from about 20 weeks of your pregnancy you will (...should) be having some monitoring of your baby’s growth. Firstly, by the simple tape measure test, up over your tummy to the top of your uterus and then by ultrasound if needed.

What we are trying to determine is if your baby is small for dates. This is known as Intrauterine Growth Restriction or IUGR.

In this podcast we talk about:

What is EFW or estimated fetal weight
How EFW is measured and the measurement accuracy.
What other ways we measure your baby's health
Problems that can arise if your baby is diagnose with IUGR
What plans need to be made if your baby is measuring small for dates.
When sometimes... you just have a small baby.
