What causes a baby to stop growing in the womb?

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

The most common cause is a problem in the placenta (the tissue that carries food and blood to the baby). Birth defects and genetic disorders can cause IUGR. If the mother has an infection, high blood pressure, is smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or abusing drugs, her baby might have IUGR.

I'm really hoping to find a doctor who has experience with treating intramural fibroids. I'm looking for someone who can make me feel comfortable and also guide me through my pregnancy treatment. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Finding the right doctor for intramural fibroid treatment can be challenging, especially when you're looking for someone who can provide a comfort zone and support your pregnancy treatment. When searching for a doctor, look for obstetricians or gynecologists with experience in treating fibroids, particularly intramural ones. You can ask questions like: What treatment options do they recommend? Do they have experience with pregnant patients? What's their approach to managing fibroid-related complications during pregnancy? Some doctors may recommend watchful waiting, while others might suggest surgical interventions like myomectomy or uterine artery embolization. It's essential to discuss your individual situation and determine the best course of action.
