Are The Fetal Measurements In Ultrasound Normal?
I am about 29 weeks 4 days pregnant. The ultrasound was taken today. The measurements: Bpd:8.12 cm, HC: 29 cm, AC: 26.5 cm, FL: 5.40 cm. My question is seem like normal measurements at this stage of pregnancy. Is FL short a little? I have Type I Diabetes mellitus. I am worried.

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your report doesn't mention maturity parameters in the respect of weeks.
You can request your radiologist to mention maturity parameters in respect of weeks.
Up to 2 weeks difference in maturity parameters is acceptable.
You don't worry at all.Diabetes mellitus also leads to normal pregnancy but you need strict control of blood sugar level through out the pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your question.
Take Care
