Should I Be Worried For The Low FL Value Being On The 29th Week Of Pregnancy?
hi Doctor, i am currently in my 29th week of pregnancy (29.6W). in my latest u/s report, i observed that the FL value is 52mm which falls under 5% category. all the other parameters say bpd,hc and ac are average. Fetal weight is also 1369g+-200g, which is permissible. is this FL value something to worry?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The slightly shorter length of the femur at 29 weeks is not worrisome. This can just be a part of normal variation. It is not suggestive of a short stature of the child.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
