IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Retardation)

This is a condition in which the fetus is not growing as it should be. An ultrasound may show that the baby is small for gestational age. This may be caused by several factors such as: problems with placenta, maternal drug usage, cigarette smoking, maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, pre-eclampsia, or anemia.

Waiting less than 6 months to have another child, may increase your risk for IUGR because you are still recovering from the last pregnancy.

Things to do:

Bed rest (at home or hospital)
Improve eating habits (increase protein, calories and iron)
Stop drug usage (includes street drugs, alcohol and tobacco)

This calculator predicts ovulation dates based on the date of your last period and the length of your menstrual cycle. It provides approximate dates only. Having intercourse during the few days before ovulation will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Since sperm can survive for several days, keep in mind that these are not the only days to become pregnant.

Remember: If your periods are irregular, this calculator is not a good way to predict your ovulation dates. Speak to your doctor about other ways to help you identify when you can conceive.
