fetal growth
Baby getting bigger
Fetal growth refers to the physical development and increase in size of an unborn mammal, especially a human, from the embryonic stage until birth.
Medical professionals track fetal growth through measurements like weight, length, and head circumference to assess whether development is proceeding normally.
The ultrasound showed healthy fetal growth.
Abnormal fetal growth—either too slow or too fast—can indicate complications requiring medical attention.
