Delayed growth in womb of embryo around 6 month pregnancy by 15 days. reasons?

Two main reasons: If a pregnancy has accurate dating from early sonogram which is in agreement with LMP (last menstrual period) and one sees a greater than 2 week lag in growth from the expected, it could signal iugr (intrauterine growth restriction). This may be due to a placental problem or a genetic/developmental problem. Close monitoring of growth, amniotic fluid, and nst (nonstress test) is indicated.
