The birth weight must be under the 5th percentile for its gestational age and combined with ultrasonographic signs of an elevated pulsity index of the umbilical cord or an absence or reversed end-diastolic flow. Controls: At least parity 1, with a previous uncomplicated pregnancy
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Multiple pregnancy for both study and control population. Nulliparous women. Women with pre-existing hypertension, diabetes mellitus, systemic diseases, kidney diseases.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary study parameters: Placental vascularisation as described in the protocol, placental volume/ growth, placental serum markers (PAPP-A, PlGF, PP-12, PAI, Ang-2, sFlt and Seng) The main outcome: IUGR. IUGR is defined as a birth weight percentile p 95 or absent of end-diastolic flow of the umbilical artery.
