Patient's question:
I am 28 years old and 32 weeks pregnant. I had an prenatal check-up today. The biparietal diameter is 72mm. Is this abnormal?Doctor's answer:
Ultrasound examination is used to check the different developmental conditions of the fetus at different stages of pregnancy. Based on the current pregnancy duration and examination results, it is recommended to measure the head circumference if the biparietal diameter of the fetus is slightly smaller. If the overall size of the fetus is smaller, it is advisable to investigate the underlying causes. If there are no other reasons, it is recommended to enhance nutrition, as the fetus may develop more rapidly in the later stages, requiring a significant amount of nutrients. Consume fresh vegetables and fruits, lean meat, and eggs. Regularly supplement with calcium and iron, among other nutrients. Pay attention to the fetal movement during daily activities.
