Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.

I have gone through your query and would like to offer some information.

The fetal biometric measurements are essentially within normal limits. The HC/AC ratio between 20-36 weeks of gestation is usually between 1.2 to 1. If this norm is reached, you need not worry about the figures.

There is no specific management to increase the abdominal circumference. Improvement of general nutrition and maintaining a healthy pregnancy is all that is needed.

Hope you find this information helpful. Please feel free to contact for further clarifications. I will be happy to help.

regards,
Shanti.V.
