Fetal tumors: when diagnosis is not a death sentence.

Dr. Andre Miyague September 25, 2025

Receiving the news of a "tumor in the baby" while still in the womb naturally evokes fear and insecurity. It's a powerful word, loaded with meaning and often immediately associated with something malignant.

But it's not always like that.
In fetal medicine, many tumors diagnosed during pregnancy are benign and can be safely monitored until birth.

In this article, I want to clearly explain what fetal tumors are, where they usually appear, what risks are involved, and, most importantly, how we can best care for them with responsibility, planning, and hope.

First-trimester ultrasound: what does an increased-risk result mean?

Dr. Andre Miyague May 16, 2025

Receiving a "high-risk" result during a first-trimester ultrasound can undoubtedly be one of the most challenging moments of prenatal care. It's a term that scares people, generates doubts, and often ends up bringing more anxiety than clarity. But that's precisely why I decided to write this text.

Because before anything else, it's important to understand what this result actually means.

Fetal Growth Restriction: when the baby stops growing... even at a normal weight.

Dr. Andre Miyague April 4, 2025

Folks, when we talk about Fetal Growth Restriction, it's very common to only think about that visibly small, thin baby with a lower than expected weight. But the truth is that the case isn't always that obvious.

I had the opportunity to speak about this topic at the 6th Ultrasound Conference of the Brazilian Society of Ultrasound in Paraná – SOPRUS 2025, here in Curitiba. And wow… it was special to be able to share this subject with colleagues, a subject that is increasingly appearing in our daily practice.

Today, I want to share with you some important points from the lecture. Because understanding how fetal growth restriction (FGR) works—especially late-stage FGR—can completely change the outcome of a pregnancy.

Fetal development from the first to the third trimester

Dr. Andre Miyague January 13, 2025

Pregnancy is one of the most transformative and exciting experiences in a family's life. From the moment the test is positive until birth, the baby undergoes an incredible process of growth and development inside the womb. As a specialist in Fetal Medicine, my role is to monitor and evaluate each stage of this journey, ensuring the health and well-being of the fetus and bringing peace of mind to the parents.

In this article, I will explain in detail what happens in each trimester of pregnancy, highlighting the most important milestones in fetal development and the essential tests at each stage.

Everything about the morphological ultrasound: the essential exam for your baby's health.

Dr. Andre Miyague December 20, 2024

If you are pregnant, you have probably already heard about the morphological ultrasound. This exam is one of the most important steps in prenatal care, as it helps to thoroughly assess the baby's health and even identify if your pregnancy can be considered high-risk. Today, I'm going to explain everything you need to know about the procedure, from when to have it done to what we can find out from it.

Restrição de crescimento fetal: o que é e como acompanhar o desenvolvimento do seu bebê

Dr. Andre Miyague October 2, 2024

A gravidez é uma fase cheia de descobertas e emoções. Uma das grandes preocupações dos pais é o crescimento saudável do bebê. Uma maneira importante de acompanhar esse desenvolvimento é entender conceitos como o percentil e as curvas de crescimento. Além disso, é essencial saber identificar casos em que o bebê não está crescendo como esperado, o que chamamos de Restrição de Crescimento Fetal (RCF).

Neste artigo, vou explicar de forma simples e clara o que significam esses termos, como o percentil, o que é um crescimento normal, e as diferenças entre a restrição de crescimento fetal precoce e tardia.
