The Short Interpregnancy Interval (IPI)

Some obstetrical publications discuss adverse perinatal outcomes based on a short interpregnancy interval (IPI). A separate, yet related topic, is a short interdelivery interval (IDI). Most obstetrical care providers are aware of the adverse obstetrical outcomes following a short IPI. However, short IPI has also been linked to adverse neurodevelopmental disorders in the child. Are repeat fetal growth ultrasounds indicated in a pregnancy following a short IPI? Is antepartum fetal surveillance indicated? In this episode, we will tackle the short interpregnancy interval, and we will end the podcast with the Level C guidance regarding pregnancy management following a short IPI.
