ABSTRACT
During gestation, multiple maternal, fetal, and placental factors interact to determine adequate fetal growth (1,2). Nonetheless, in a considerable proportion of pregnancies, fetal growth will be above or below the expected for gestational age (GA) (3,4). Both conditions have been related to an increased risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality (2,5–7) and long-term health consequences (8–10).
