IUGR fetal weight
Does IUGR diagnosed at 37 weeks still have scope to increase fetal weight by good diet? Or will the fetal weight remain same till delivery. Fetal weight is 2297 at 37 weeks. Can this improve or grow??

37 weeks is fairly advanced pregnancy. Not much time is left after that. We expect baby to gain about 500 gm in the next 3 weeks, provided the placental function is normal.
This diagnosis must be from Ultrasound. They would also have done Doppler study.
So more important aspect is that if baby is growth retarded because of placental compromise, then we should try to get the baby out of the hostile environment. Baby will flourish better outside .
