What is the optimal gestation to deliver the SGA fetus?

Question 1

Preterm SGA and timing of delivery

Answer 1

• In the preterm SGA with umbilical artery AREDV detected prior to 32 weeks of gestation, delivery
  is recommended when DV Doppler becomes abnormal or UV pulsations appear, provided the fetus is considered viable and after completion of steroids. Even when venous Doppler is normal, delivery is
  recommended by 32 weeks of gestation and should be considered between 30–32 weeks of gestation.
