1.BPD - bi-parietal diameter ( baby head from one ear to other ear side a line - approximately aim telling for you to understand )
2.EDD - Expected delivery date.
3.FL - femur length ( from hip to knee - thigh bone length)
4.AC - abdominal circumference ( a round length of abdomen approximately at umbilicus / belly button)
5.4D - four diminutional.
6.Your report appears normal, this time of pregnancy you need to get all foetal anomalies checked - hope you have got done. Good luck.

Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
