Fetal growth

Fetal growth refers to how a baby develops inside the womb during pregnancy. It involves the increase in size, weight, and the development of organs and body parts. Healthcare providers monitor fetal growth with ultrasounds to ensure the baby is developing properly. Factors like nutrition, health, and genetics influence growth. Ideally, the fetus grows steadily, reaching specific milestones that support healthy development leading up to birth. Proper growth is important for a smooth delivery and the baby's overall health after birth.
