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 wondering if taking Ovacare tablets can mess with my period. I ended up taking 10 of them and now I'm worried they might cause a delay. How much of a delay could I be looking at here?

Ovacare is generally not expected to delay periods. If you or the person taking Ovacare experiences a delay in menstruation, it could be due to other factors unrelated to the supplement. If the delay persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, its advisable to consult a healthcare provider for further advice and evaluation.

I'm feeling a lot of pain in my right breast, especially when I press on it. It also feels really hard, kind of like a gland. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly mean?

Changing hormone levels can cause changes in the milk ducts or milk glands. These changes in the ducts and glands can cause breast cysts, which can be painful and are a common cause of cyclic breast pain.And there are many other factors also .So please visit gynae for further needful investigation and evaluation

I'm a bit worried about something going on with my wife. She's 18 weeks pregnant, and for the past month, she's been experiencing these shivers in the middle of the night, like once a week. They only last a short time, maybe 30 seconds to a couple of minutes. She feels really cold when it happens, but then shes back to normal pretty quickly. Is this something we should be concerned about? Its only happened twice, but I just want to make sure everything's okay. What do you think?
