Hi dear,
Welcome to HCM.

I have reviewed the report.
The report is completely normal.
The fetus has grown appropriately, placenta and amniotic fluid are normal and all the fetal organs are normal.
There is nothing to worry.

Dear Doctor,

Thank you for your response.

I have two questions based on the report.

1. What is the fetal weight?

2. I noticed tat Femur length is 20MM, and the related gestational period shows 15 weeks 5 days as aginst the current gestation period of 16 weeks and 3 days. Is this a problem?

Thanks Doctor.
