Several complications can arise during fetal development:
- Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR): This condition occurs when the fetus is smaller than expected for the gestational age, often due to placental insufficiency or maternal health issues. - Macrosomia: A condition where the fetus grows larger than normal, often linked to maternal diabetes. - Preterm Birth: Babies born before 37 weeks may have underdeveloped organs and require specialized care.
