Abstract
Pregnancy is a remarkable anabolic process whereby out of food, vitamins, minerals and hormones, a baby with 3.2 Kg body weight is born. Infants who weigh less than the expected weight of their duration of gestation as a result of Intra Uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) are described as Small for Gestational Age (SGA) infants.
