Lying on left side for fetal growth restriction
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if lying on your left side can help improve blood flow and oxygen for babies with fetal growth restriction (FGR), a condition where the baby is smaller than expected. If you are pregnant with one baby, between 24 and 34 weeks, and your baby is in the bottom 10% for weight, you may qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old and pregnant.
- Your baby has been diagnosed with fetal growth restriction, meaning the baby's weight is less than the 10th percentile.
- You are between 24 and 34 weeks pregnant with a single baby.
- You can speak English or Spanish.
- You do not have a history of blood clots, clotting disorders, or a body mass index (BMI) over 40 before pregnancy.
- You are not smoking during pregnancy and do not have signs of severe umbilical cord problems on ultrasound.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses ultrasound to look at blood flow patterns in the heart and major blood vessels of babies who are smaller than expected (fetal growth restriction). It will compare these patterns to those in normally growing babies to see how they change as other growth measurements change.
This study examines how blood flow patterns in the ductus venosus relate to birth outcomes in pregnancies where the baby is growing slowly (IUGR) compared to those growing normally. The results may help doctors better monitor high-risk pregnancies.
This study follows pregnancies where the baby appears smaller than expected on ultrasound. It may help researchers better understand why this happens and how to monitor care over time.
This study tests whether melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) can help babies who are not growing well in the womb due to placental blood-flow problems. Researchers will measure if melatonin improves the baby's growth and health before delivery.
This study follows women whose babies have a growth problem in the womb (FGR) linked to how blood flows to the placenta. It looks at causes and outcomes to help improve care.
This study compares babies with fetal growth restriction (slower growth in the womb) to babies growing normally. It looks for causes and risk factors using medical records and questionnaires. You may join if you are expecting a single baby with a known due date and without certain health conditions or medications.
