What should I do if the fetus is smaller than expected at 37 weeks of pregnancy according to ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Wife is 37 weeks pregnant and 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:

At 37 weeks of pregnancy, an examination revealed that the fetus is 3 weeks smaller than expected. If there are no other abnormal symptoms, it should be considered as a condition caused by reasons such as malnutrition. It is recommended to actively enhance nutrition, which should improve.
Advice: Maintain a positive mindset, get adequate rest, eat a balanced diet, consume more high-protein foods, eat nutrient-rich foods, strengthen nutrition, and actively engage in prenatal care. Regular check-ups are essential.
