were included in this study. Diagnosis was made by history, clinical examination and by sonographic evidence. Ante partum surveillance of fetal wellbeing was done by using the kick count
chart, non-stress test and biophysical profile.
RESULTS: During period of the study 4212 deliveries were conducted, and 150 pregnancies
were complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR). Demographic characteristics of 150 pregnancies’ complicated by FGR was recorded. The mean maternal age was 26.48 ± 4.06. The 91
