Summary

This study looks at whether blood flow in a small fetal vein, measured by ultrasound, can predict pregnancy outcomes. Researchers will compare 160 pregnant women with and without intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) between 24 and 37 weeks. The goal is to improve early detection of high-risk pregnancies and guide better care.

What could go wrong: This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct changes in care, and results may not apply to all pregnancies.
