Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from BJOG 2018;125:183–192) The leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality are stillbirth, preterm birth (PTB), and small for gestational age (SGA), which can occur as a result of fetal growth restriction (FGR). Contemporary literature shows a significant increase in the risk of stillbirth, PTB, or SGA after its presentation in a prior pregnancy.
