Objective To determine the association between Doppler changes in the fetal vertebral (VA), middle cerebral (MCA), and umbilical arteries (UA) and severity of growth restriction (FGR) in fetuses delivered after 34 weeks. Method Five hundred seventy‐one Doppler examinations of the VA, MCA, and UA were performed between 26 and 41 weeks of gestation. Values were converted into multiples of the median and divided into birth weight (BW) categories: BW>P10 th , BW
