Hi Candee,

Great post, love that you mentioned organ size and not just stuff like limbs, cranium size, etc. Organs can be small for fetal age due to symmetric and asymmetric IUGR.

Also, great point to distinguish between SGA and IUGR like the girls said!

I found the same chart as Zuly that helped me when I got a little confused:

 and some other stuff!

I really liked the table that you posted because it helps differentiate the causes of I youGR & SGA. I think it is important to remember that SGA is pathological and IUGR It is caused by maternal issues or fetal issues.
