IUGR babies experience significantly higher perinatal mortality and morbidity compared to normal infants, with risks including stillbirth, meconium aspiration, and fetal distress.

These infants are also at risk for other issues in the neonatal period including hypoglycemia, hypothermia, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Long term, IUGR can impact cardiovascular health, respiratory function, and neurological development, with risks extending into adulthood such as hypertension, learning difficulties
