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 a 28-year-old woman and I'm married. My period was supposed to start around the 24th or 25th this month, but it's late. Usually, I have a regular cycle and it doesn't skip. This time, I tried to prepone my cycle by a couple of days, so I took Primolut N twice a day for three days on the 12th, 13th, and 14th. I waited 5 days after that for my period to start, but nothing happened. Could Primolut N be causing any side effects, like delaying my period or stopping it altogether? What should I do now?

rimolut N, containing norethisterone, can cause changes in menstrual cycle, including delayed or absent periods, as a common side effect, especially when taken in high doses or for extended periods, and since you've already waited 5 days after stopping the medication, it's recommended to wait a few more days and if your period doesn't start, take a pregnancy test and consult your gynecologist for further guidance and to rule out any underlying hormonal imbalances.

I'm a bit worried because my wife's period was supposed to start on February 26, 2020, but it hasn't yet. She took a pregnancy test with the Prega News kit, and it came back negative. She's been experiencing some stomach pain, especially on the lower side, and she's feeling really tired, especially at night, and a bit nauseous. I'm just wondering what steps we should take to help her period start. Any advice?

without any further delay get a scan done and visit Gynaecologist for appropriate management
