The small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetus - when to worry and why?

Summary: Identifying the small baby is a key component of antenatal care, although the best means by which these babies can be identified are not always clear, and the management of pregnancies in which the fetus is found to be small can be confusing. This presentation provides an evidence-based update on contemporary approaches to the diagnosis and management of pregnancies with small-for-gestational-age fetal, with a particular focus on identifying those likely to be small on account of fetal growth restriction, and thus at highest risk.

Learning Outcomes: 

• Outline the epidemiology, risk factors and identification of the small for gestational age fetus.
• Describe the relationship between small for gestational age and fetal growth restriction.
• Identify and manage the small fetus with specialist colleagues.
