What Does "single Fetus,liqour Within Normal Limits,fatal Heart Present And Normal" Mean In Scan?
i want to know the meaning of these terms and if it is risk free to have these reports from an obstetric ultrasonography at a 34wks 4days pregnancy.
single fetus,liqour within normal limits,fatal heart present and normal,cephalic presentation,placenta location fundal.
Also i did 3 scans at 3,4 and 5 months respectively because of an issue the doctor wanted to be sure of and my EDD were 5/6/12,5/6/12 and 8/6/12 respectively,but the above obstetric ultrasonography which i did last week gave me EDD as 22/6/12,which one should i believe as i think i am having Braxton Hicks contractions.

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The report stating single fetus, normal liquor and normal fetal heart activity indicate a risk free pregnancy considering other factors are also normal. I suggest that you accept the earlier scans with EDD given as 5/6 and 8/6 as true. In later stages of pregnancy, there is error in measurements and even slight differences can give variable dates as in your case. Please do not worry and follow up with your doctor keeping EDD as 5/6/12.
