BACKGROUND: Optimal management of fetuses diagnosed as small for gestational age based on an estimated fetal weight ofHowever, maternal bed rest has not been recommended based on the results of a randomized clinical trial that showed that maternal rest does not improve fetal growth in small-for-gestational-age fetuses. This study was conducted to revisit this question.

The purpose of this study was to determine if fetuses with deceleration of growth velocity resulting in an EFW <10th percentile increase their growth above the 10th percentile following 2 weeks of maternal rest in the left lateral recumbent position. This was a retrospective observational study of 265 fetuses with the prenatal diagnosis of an EFW <10th percentile.
