Two conditions, namely ''garbha-shosha'' (..) and ''garbha-parisriti'' (..), have been cited as reasons for the phenomenon termed as “long intrauterine stay”. This kind of manifestation is also found in ''vata-abhipanna garbha'' (..) (SS.Sa.10/57), emaciated fetus afflicted with ''vataja'' disorders (AS.Sa.2/37) and ''vatodara'' (..) (BhS.Sa.3/6-7). This condition could be correlated with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR). (15)

It is interesting to note that none of the ''vedic'' texts – Ayurvedic or otherwise – blamed the mother for complications and abnormalities in pregnancy. Instead, they seem to attribute those to God’s will and the karmic deeds of the children born with those defects. (16)
