2. Genetic factors: if the parents of the fetus are short, then it may cause the skeleton of the fetus to be shorter than others of the same age, which is also normal.
3. Fetal calcium deficiency: If the pregnant woman has insufficient calcium intake or less absorption during pregnancy, the nutrition supply to the fetus will be insufficient, which will result in fetal growth retardation.
4. Fetal malformation: If the fetus suffers from congenital genetic disease or maldevelopment, it may have malformation, resulting in a short femur.
