Patient's question:
Pregnant at 37 weeks, ultrasound detected that the fetus is smaller than normal with 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 condition normal? If not, what are the remedies? 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 amniotic fluid volume 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 is likely nothing serious, so there is no need to be too anxious. The fetus is smaller than expected, and it has already been hospitalized for intravenous nutrition and monitoring. If the condition improves, it should be fine.
