Why Foetus Is Not Growing?

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

IUGR
The condition is most commonly caused by inadequate maternal-fetal circulation, with a resultant decrease in fetal growth. Less common causes include intrauterine infections such as cytomegalovirus and rubella, and congenital anomalies such as trisomy 21 and trisomy 18.
. If the mother has an infection, high blood pressure, is smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or abusing drugs, her baby might have IUGR.

What happens when fetus stops growing?

If your doctor decides that your baby has stopped growing or is at risk, you will need to deliver early. Your baby will need to stay in the hospital until they can breathe and feed normally and can regulate their body temperature.

How can I increase fetal growth?

An increased intake of fruits and vegetables or vitamin C at mid-pregnancy is associated with increased fetal growth and infant growth up to 6 months of age.
