In a diagnosed case of IUGR, bih weight of the fetus can be increased by which of the following:
Bed rest in left lateral position in all pregnancies and even with IUGR is proven to increase uterine perfusion, increase the fetal nutrition and consequently increase the fetal weight. The use of aspirin for IUGR is fairly common but has not been proven beyond doubt to be of use. Cessation of smoking will prevent an IUGR rather than increase fetal weight. Ca and vitamin D supplementation are good for the muscle tone of the mother and also play a role in the prevention of PIH.
