Question 1

I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant, and my ultrasound is showing the baby's growth as being 37 weeks. Why could this be happening? I had my glucose tolerance test (GTT) in December, and the results were normal. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Question 3

I'm really curious about finding out the gender of my baby! I've got sonography scan reports from my 20-week appointment. Do you think you could take a look at them and tell me if it's a boy or a girl?

Accepted Answer

Gender determination is usually done during a specific ultrasound examination. If you are curious about the gender of your baby, I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider during your next prenatal visit. Please be informed that this is illegal in most parts of India.

What causes a baby to stop growing in the womb?

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. If the mother has an infection, high blood pressure, is smoking, or drinking too much alcohol or abusing drugs, her baby might have IUGR.
