Hi,
Yes, definitely this could be poor blood flow to fetal circulation and placental insufficiency and follow up with mother weight gain, vitals and fetal well being should be taken care. Kindly do seek an obstetrician opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
