Some common issues that can arise during fetal development include:
- Congenital Anomalies: Structural defects present at birth, such as heart defects or neural tube defects. - Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR): A condition where the fetus does not grow at the expected rate, often due to placental insufficiency or maternal health issues. - Preterm Birth: Birth that occurs before 37 weeks of gestation, which can lead to complications like respiratory distress syndrome and developmental delays.
