Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
The following conclusions can be considered based on the ultrasound report you have furnished.
1. Placenta lying anteriorly is perfectly fine and showing early grade 3 maturity is considered to be normal at this stage of pregnancy.
2. Amniotic fluid is adequate and AFI (Amniotic fluid index) between 8 - 18 is considered normal.
3. Fetal weight of 1.7 kgs is fine as it needs to weigh normally 4 pounds (1.8 kgs) at 32 weeks of pregnancy.
Hence, there is no need to worry about the report as all parameters mentioned seems to be normal at this stage.
Kindly do the necessary follow-up subsequently as advised by your treating doctor.
Hope the information provided helps.
Best wishes for an healthy outcome.
