Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There are certain suspicious changes in the brain which are in favor of an infection affecting the baby during pregnancy. The solution right now is to wait and watch till delivery. There are chances that the baby growth is less due to the infection. The actual assessment can be done only after birth by doing ultrasound brain of the baby. Please go for delivery at a hospital which has neonatal ICU services.
