Estimated foetal weight less than the 10th percentile at that gestational age is known as intra st st uterine growth restriction (IUGR). Over the period of 1 July 2021 till 31 June 2022, a descriptive longitudinal study was conducted in department of OBGY DVVPF’s medical college and hospital Ahmednagar. 90 women visiting OBGY OPD at DVVPF’s medical college and hospital Ahmednagar carrying single fetus with 32 completed weeks of gestation, having IUGR were included in the study. There are considerable differences between categories and within categories when umbilical artery Doppler indices were used to analyse newborn outcome in terms of birth weight. P value exceeded 0.0005. A better outcome in terms of birth weight of more than 2 kg occurs when the umbilical artery Doppler diastolic flow revealed strong forward diastolic flow. Planning the antenatal fetal surveillance requires the identification of IUGR fetuses caused by uteroplacental insufficiency. Doppler imaging of the umbilical artery reveals changes, which in turn forecasts the resistance present at the placenta. Increased prenatal mortality and morbidity are related to the absence or reversal of umbilical artery diastolic flow. Hence One of the most useful tools for performing prenatal fetal surveillance on IUGR fetuses is the umbilical artery Doppler.
