What causes a baby to stop growing in the womb?

Doctor 1

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 dealing with this constant vaginal discharge, like this clear mucus, that just makes my underwear really wet by the end of the day. It's super uncomfortable, especially when I'm traveling, and there's this strange smell to it. This started about a year back, after a time when I had sex with my boyfriend, and we were already sexually active before that too. I'm just not sure what's going on or what kind of treatment or precautions I should be taking. Could you help me figure this out?

For IUI, a follicle size of 2.1 cm on the 14th day is within the expected range. However, the endometrium thickness of 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range for IUI. _Follicle Size_ 1. _Ideal size_: 18-24 mm for IUI, but 2.1 cm (21 mm) is still within range. 2. _Monitoring_: Your doctor will continue to monitor follicle growth to determine the optimal time for IUI. _Endometrium Thickness_ 1. _Ideal thickness_: 6-10 mm for IUI. 2. _Current thickness_: 4.8 mm is slightly below the ideal range. 3. _Waiting for 16th day_: Your doctor's advice to wait for the 16th day to reassess endometrium thickness is reasonable. _Next Steps_ 1. _Follow your doctor's advice_: Wait for the 16th day and reassess endometrium thickness. 2. _Continue monitoring follicle growth_: Ensure the follicle is ready for IUI. 3. _Discuss trigger shot options_: If your endometrium thickness doesn't reach the ideal range, discuss trigger shot options with your doctor to stimulate ovulation. Stay positive, and I hope everything goes smoothly with your IUI procedure!
