What Does The Following Ultrasound Scan During 35 Weeks Of Gestation Indicate?
Hi. I am pregnant and did an ultrasound scan last week. Results were as follows: BPD: 88mm - 35 weeks 4 days Head Circ: 316 mm - 35 weeks 3 days Femur length: 72 mm - 36 weeks 6 days; and abdo Cir: 329 mm - 36 weeks 6 days. The difference in gestational age between head circumference and Femur length is worrying me. Can you please clarify matters for me?

Hello,
Everything seems ok with your baby. As for head circumference,its a biometric parameter to check fetal growth.
It has nothing to do with brain development. So, don't worry. Everything is going to be alright.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
