Question 3

Provide one reason for concern about babies who exhibit small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and large-for-gestational-age (LGA) birth weights.

Accepted Answer

One reason for concern about babies who exhibit small-for-gestational-age (SGA) birth weights is that SGA can be an indicator of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which means the baby has not grown at the expected rate during pregnancy. This can be due to a variety of factors including placental insufficiency, maternal health issues, or chromosomal abnormalities. Babies born SGA are at increased risk for complications such as hypoglycemia, difficulty maintaining body temperature, and a higher incidence of developmental delays and long-term health issues.

Similarly, babies who are large-for-gestational-age (LGA) may face challenges as well. LGA can be a sign of maternal diabetes or obesity, and these babies are at a higher risk for birth injuries due to their size, as well as metabolic disorders like hypoglycemia. They may also have an increased risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome later in life. Monitoring and managing the health of both the mother and the baby during pregnancy is crucial to mitigate these risks.
