Patient's question:
Pregnant at 37 weeks, ultrasound detected that the fetus is small and there is excessive amniotic fluid. BPD (Biparietal Diameter) is 9.2 cm, Chest Circumference is 30.3 cm, Femur Length is 6.0 cm, Placenta grading is 1+, and fetal weight is 2363 grams. Is this normal? If not, what can be done to remedy the situation? Thank you!!! Urgent、、、、、、Doctor's answer:
During pregnancy, an ultrasound examination can help assess the intrauterine development of the fetus, as well as the maturity of the placenta and whether the amniotic fluid volume is normal. A significantly increased amount of amniotic fluid is often indicative of abnormalities in the fetal urinary system or gastrointestinal tract, and further follow-up is recommended. Since all previous examinations were normal, it might be nothing serious, so there is no need to be too anxious. The fetus is smaller than expected, and it has already been hospitalized. Nutritional fluids are being administered, and the situation is being closely monitored. If the condition improves, it should be fine.
