Patient's question:
I have been pregnant for more than eight months recently. Since I am carrying my second child, I took special care to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound. I noticed an "f1" on the ultrasound report. What does "f1" mean on the ultrasound report?Doctor's answer:
On the ultrasound report, F1 refers to the biparietal diameter of the fetus. The biparietal diameter refers to the measurement of the head. In the later stages of pregnancy, when sleeping, it is recommended to alternate between sides. It is best to avoid lying flat or sitting or lying for long periods to prevent the fetus from being in an abnormal position. Closely monitor the fetal movement. It is advisable to go to the hospital for regular check-ups. If there is a decrease or increase in fetal movement, it may be due to fetal hypoxia.
