Abstract
IUGR is defined as a rate of fetal growth that is less than normal for the expected growth potential of a specific infant. Fetuses with isolated single umbilical artery are at higher risk of prematurity, IUGR(Intra uterine growth restriction), and intrauterine death. Ayurveda provides a holistic approach towards garbhini paricharya (antenatal care). Nabhinadi (umbilical cord) nourishes the fetus, and abnormalities result in garbhashosha. This is a case report of IUGR associated with a single umbilical artery with no other abnormalities. The obstetric scan revealed decreased abdominal circumference and falling growth parameters. Ayurvedic medicines with brimhana, balya, prajasthapana actions were given. The outcome was a full-term baby of birth weight 2.5kg through vaginal delivery.
