Key Points

Fetal growth restriction (FGR), responsible for 30% of stillbirths, is the most common cause of prematurity and intrapartum asphyxia.

In this study, including 38 mothers with normotensive FGR, all participants had 2–4 inflammatory conditions, such as giardiasis, sinusitis, candidiasis, dysbiosis, extreme fear or autoantibodies.

Silicone breast implants were associated with a 70% increased risk of fetal growth restriction before 32 weeks’ gestation.

FGR was diagnosed at 27 weeks’ gestation (95% CI, 25–30) in mothers with and at 30 weeks’ gestation (95% CI, 29–32) in mothers without silicone breast implants.
