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 curious about when the best time is to take the CCQ50 tablet. Also, I've been kind of anxious about figuring out the optimal time to have sex with my partner if we're trying to conceive. Could you shed some light on these?

Possible Causes* 1. *Vestibular disorders*: Inner ear problems, such as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), labyrinthitis, or vestibular migraine, can cause dizziness, giddiness, and falling sensations. 2. *Anxiety and panic disorders*: Severe anxiety and panic attacks can manifest physically, leading to symptoms like dizziness, stomach discomfort, and a feeling of being pushed. 3. *Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)*: This condition causes a rapid heart rate and other symptoms, including dizziness and lightheadedness, when standing upright. 4. *Neurological conditions*: Certain conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, peripheral neuropathy, or Parkinson's disease, can cause balance problems, dizziness, and falling sensations. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a specialist (e.g., neurologist, ENT specialist, or cardiologist) to discuss your symptoms. 2. *Undergo diagnostic tests*: Your doctor may recommend tests, such as: - Vestibular function tests (e.g., electronystagmography or videonystagmography) - Balance and equilibrium assessments - Imaging studies (e.g., MRI or CT scans) - Blood tests to rule out underlying conditions 3. *Address anxiety and panic*: Consider seeking help from a mental health professional to manage your anxiety and panic symptoms. 4. *Lifestyle modifications*: In the meantime, try to: - Avoid triggers that exacerbate your symptoms - Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga - Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet - Avoid standing for long periods or changing positions quickly

I'm 24 and I've been having trouble with my periods. They're always late, and sometimes I don't get them at all for a couple of months. Could you suggest an ayurvedic syrup that could help regulate them without causing any side effects? I'm really looking for something natural that could set things right.

It sounds like you might be dealing with irregular periods, which could be linked to hormonal imbalances or stress. In Ayurveda, **Ashoka** and **Lodhra** are commonly used to regulate menstrual cycles. **Kanchanar Guggul** and **Chandraprabha Vati** may also help. It's important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice and dosage to ensure it's safe for you.

I've been using the Prega News kit, and there's a very faint line that showed up after a minute of taking the test. It wasn't there when I first checked right after the test. This faint line is barely visible, doesn't have much color, and it isn't showing in the picture I took. Does this mean it's just too early to tell, or could this mean a negative result? I'm a bit unsure and would love some guidance on this.

-A very faint line can sometimes appear when the test is taken early, as the hCG levels might be too low to show a strong result. It's best to wait a few more days and retest, as testing too early can lead to unclear results.
