Patient's question:
I am 36 years old this year. Recently, I have been feeling unwell. During the day, I sometimes feel dizzy, and it has affected my work. I can't sleep at night, and the medicine I took doesn't seem to help much. What should I do if my 32-week baby has short legs?Doctor's answer:
At 32 weeks: The average biparietal diameter is 8.17 ± 0.65, and the average femur length is 6.43 ± 0.49.Biparietal diameter: 79mm
Femur: 49mm. Based on your prenatal check-up, there is a shorter fetal leg, which is abnormal. In this case, there is a possibility of fetal malformation, and it is recommended to undergo a 3D color Doppler ultrasound examination in a higher-level hospital for a definitive diagnosis to determine the possibility of malformation.
