Patient's question:
Single cephalic presentation, biparietal diameter 81mm, head circumference 291mm, abdominal circumference 287mm, femur length 61mm. No umbilical cord around the neck, fetal heart rate 158 bpm, SD2.50, RI0.59. Placenta located on the anterior wall, maturity grade II, deepest amniotic fluid dark area 4.2cm.Past treatment history and effectiveness: Last menstrual period on April 17th. Today, the ultrasound doctor said I am only 32 weeks pregnant, which is two weeks less than the actual gestational age. They also specifically mentioned to pay attention to fetal movement, which made me very worried!
What kind of help I need: I would like to ask if my placenta maturity is grade II. Some sisters are also 32 weeks with placenta maturity grade I. Will mine calcify faster? Will the fetal heart rate be too fast? Is the amniotic fluid too low? Thank you, please be specific and detailed.
Doctor's answer:
According to your description, biparietal diameter (BPD) of 81mm is equivalent to 33 weeks minus, femur length of 61mm is equivalent to 31 weeks, and abdominal circumference of 287mm is equivalent to 33 weeks minus. The placenta is grade II, indicating early maturity and still functioning well, it would not fibrotize so quickly, and it would absolutely not affect the growth of the fetus. The maturity of the placenta varies from person to person; some may be grade III at delivery, while others may be grade II. Your fetus's growth and development are normal, approximately 32 weeks plus. Your due date is January 24, 2011, and the fetus is not considered small.
