What Causes Improper Fetal Growth During 7 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I m 7 weeks pregnant. I had a sonography and the doctor told me That every thing is ok but the shape of the baby is not proper. According to her it should be a beautiful round shape. But here it is not proper, it is having some elongation or a outgrowth. Additionally, I am having a very light pain in my stomach. Which fluctuates time to time. Please advise me in this regard.

Hello,

Intra uterine growth retardation (IUGR) commonly occurs due to smoking, taking alcohol, severe anemia, stressful lifestyle, low pregnancy weight, poor general health condition, congenital infections (rubella, HIV, malaria, etc), abruption placenta, placenta previa, congenital problems, etc. To prevent IUGR, you are suggested to stay away from tension, anxiety or stress. Avoid smoking & alcohol or addictions if any.

Take plenty of rest, take balanced nutritious home made food. Take medicines only after consultation with your gynecologist. Treatment of the cause and constant monitoring of the patient can prevent IUGR and conservatives treatment can improve blood flow. You are suggested to get routine check ups by your gynecologist so that the development of the fetus improves.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
