Patient's question:
Is it normal for a 35-week fetus with a biparietal diameter of 87mm, femur length of 62mm, and abdominal circumference of 315mm? Is the baby's leg shorter than normal? How much does the baby weigh now?Doctor's answer:
A 35-week fetus, with a biparietal diameter (BPD) as low as 8.8 cm, is considered mature. The femur length is 6.5 cm. Your child's BPD at 35 weeks is 8.7 cm. The femur length is 6.2 cm. The weight is approximately 4.7 pounds. Your careful examination is mostly normal. The baby is expected to weigh around 5 pounds and 2 ounces. It is recommended to eat more nutritious foods during pregnancy, especially in the later stages, and to keep track of daily calcium intake.
