A member asked:
Can a 21 week fetus with iugr look like a 8 week fetus ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: That doesn't happen in real life, just like a 21 year-old who was malnourished and neglected all his life will still not look anything like a normal 8 year-old boy. In a natural pregnancy, ultrasound dating that shows an 8 week fetus is an estimate that the pregnancy is 7-9 weeks. Avoid overthinking this, unless it is 100% impossible that there was a sperm meeting an egg 5-7 weeks ago.
