Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Up to 3 week difference in abdominal circumference of fetus is acceptable.
More important is relation in between BPD(Bi parietal diameter) and FL(Femur length).If BPD and FL parameters are fine then there is nothing to be worried about.
It is important to see other parameters also.
She need follow up USG.
Hope i have answered your query.
