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've been really curious and honestly a bit worried about the whole G spot thing. Can you explain exactly what the G spot is, where it's located, and how someone can find it? I'm hoping for some practical advice because I want to help my partner discover it at home. Is it even possible, and if so, how do we go about it?

The **G-spot** is an area located inside the vagina, about 1-3 inches on the front wall, that can be sensitive and, for some, may lead to heightened sexual pleasure when stimulated. To find it, gently insert one or two fingers and make a "come here" motion towards the belly button. It may take time and patience for both you and your partner to explore and discover what feels best. Open communication and comfort are key.

My girlfriend and I are really worried. Her last period started on March 1st and we had unprotected sex on March 17th. She took an emergency contraception pill just three hours after. Now, weeks later, she's missed her period, and we've taken three pregnancy tests, which all came back positive. She's also been experiencing stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting. What should we do?

Sounds like your girlfriend may be experiencing symptoms of early pregnancy. The stomach cramps, lower back pain, headache, nausea, and vomiting are common symptoms during the early stages of pregnancy. For nausea and vomiting, she can take Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 25mg three times a day. For stomach cramps and lower back pain, she can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. It is important for her to stay hydrated and eat small, frequent meals to help with the symptoms. I recommend consulting with an obstetrician for further evaluation and management of her pregnancy.
