Patient's question:
I am 36 weeks pregnant. Today's ultrasound results are:Ultrasound description: The biparietal diameter of the fetal head is approximately 9 cm, fetal heart rate is 145 beats per minute, the deepest amniotic fluid is about 5.8 cm, the length of the femur is about 6.6 cm, and a "U" shaped silent notch is observed in the fetal neck spine.
Are these results normal? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Your results are normal. After a 6-week gestation period, in addition to routine gynecological examinations, it is necessary to determine whether intrauterine pregnancy is normal through ultrasound. For example, if no pregnancy signs are detected within the uterine cavity, but abnormal masses are found outside the uterus, combined with other clinical manifestations and laboratory test results, ectopic pregnancy should be considered. Therefore, it is generally recommended to perform ultrasound in the early stages of pregnancy to confirm whether it is a normal pregnancy or multiple pregnancies such as twins or molar pregnancy.
