Fetuses diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction are not necessarily born with problems. Fetal growth restriction is influenced by maternal, fetal-placental, and other pathologic factors, with ultrasound-estimated fetal weight and measured abdominal circumference below the 10th percentile for the same gestational age. When fetal growth restriction is diagnosed, ultrasound screening of the fetus for structural anomalies is recommended, in addition to maternal pregnancy comorbidities and complications that should be evaluated. Prenatal diagnosis is recommended to rule out chromosomal abnormalities in combination with structural anomalies or soft ultrasound markers in the middle trimester, and the fetus may not necessarily be born with a problem if the fetal growth restriction is due to maternal factors alone. For pregnant women diagnosed with fetal growth restriction and the timing of termination, it is necessary to take into account a number of factors such as gestational week, etiology, severity, monitoring indicators and the level of neonatal care in the local area, and other factors to decide, such as the detection of fetal growth restriction at the time of examination, it is recommended that the obstetrician under the guidance of close monitoring, and the local neonatal care level of better hospitals for delivery.
