What is another word for small for gestational age?
Pronunciation: [smˈɔːl fɔː d͡ʒɛstˈe͡ɪʃənə͡l ˈe͡ɪd͡ʒ] (IPA) 
Small for gestational age, abbreviated as SGA, is a medical term used to describe a newborn who is smaller than the average size for the gestational age. Other synonyms for SGA are Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) and fetal growth restriction. These terms are used interchangeably to describe a fetus that has not grown to its full potential in the womb. SGA is usually identified through an ultrasound or by measuring the baby's weight after birth. It is a significant risk factor for neonatal morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and management of SGA can improve fetal outcomes and reduce the risk of long-term health conditions.
