What Do My Lab Test Reports Indicate?
Question: Hello, I had a growth scan on 32 weeks. The report reflects FL is 58mm. Doc said me that this is the growth of 30 weeks foetus. Iam worried about the FL growth.May I know what may happen to the babies growth?
Brief Answer:
Can be constitutional
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
I have reviewed the report.
The fetal length is definitely less than gestational age.
It can be due to constitutional short height in the family.
Sometimes, the short limbs can be present in chromosomal abnormalities.
Please attach and mention the length of other limbs so that I can explain you further.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
