Brief Answer:
Normal Doppler study report.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for writing to us. I have reviewed attached image.

Followings are my comments:

1) If weight of the baby is quite good and FL (femur length) is normal, then AC (abdominal circumference) 3rd percentile is NOT a big deal at this stage of pregnancy. Your baby will have normal birth weight at term.

2) Doppler study is also good. Fetal heart rate, Amniotic Fluid Index and Peak systolic velocity of umbilical artery are quite NORMAL.

Hope, I have answered your query. Wish her good health and take care. Do periodic check up to her doctor.

For future query, you can directly approach me through

Brief Answer:
Slight underweight. Get corrected at term.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,

Thanks for your update.

At 35 weeks, baby weight is slightly underweight from normal value. However, it will be corrected at term (38 to 39 weeks) and I think that your baby will gain healthy birth weight.

Mother should take healthy diet with more protein supplements or foods, green vegetables, fruits and drink more water or fluid. These will be helpful.

Hope, it helps for your information. Good luck and take care.
