Hi,

The full forms of the abbreviations above are:
BPD = Bipareital diameter
AC = Abdominal circumference
FL = Femur length
TL = Tibia length
HL= Humerus length
UL = Ulna length

These are various parameters to assess the growth of your baby. They seem to be normal for your period of pregnancy (as per ISUOG charts).

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Vamshi
