Background: Antenatal detection of abdominal circumference (AC) <10th percentile, among small for gestational age (SGA) neonates, probably reflects the severity of their growth restriction. We aimed to study neonatal outcome and placental pathology among SGA neonates in correlation to their AC measurements.
Methods: Maternal and neonatal computerized medical records and placental histopathology reports of all SGA neonates, (neonatal birth-weight ≤10th percentile), born between 24 and 42 weeks, during 2015-2018 were reviewed.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of reduced fetal movements (RFM) on neonatal outcomes in twin pregnancies, recognizing that RFM is often considered a warning sign but may be overlooked in twins.
- Researchers compared twin pregnancies with RFM against those without (who reported normal movements) to see if RFM correlates with worse outcomes.
- Results indicated that although there were some cases of fetal demise and no significant differences in birthweights or adverse outcomes, the overall implications of RFM in twin pregnancies remain complex and warrant further exploration.
Introduction: Maternal perception of fetal movements has long been considered an indicator of fetal well-being. A sudden decrease in the number of fetal movements is suggestive of fetal compromise. We aimed to determine whether the maternal perception of reduced fetal movements (RFM) is associated with placental pathological lesions in a low-risk term population.
