Brief Answer: CANNOT SEE A REASON TO WORRY. Detailed Answer: Hi again Where is it mentioned that it is on the 17th percentile ? What is the inference of the ultrasound report, I do not mind receiving the Spanish report, will do my best to translate it. I can see the reference ranges used by the software, and though the FL is behind the other parameters, it is falling within the reference range for the gestational age. So I do not see any need to be worried. Please upload the report, even if it is not in English.

Ok, I'm sending it to you. Basically it says that everything is normal and ok, but it's my first baby and I've always been a little paranoid about everything and maybe I Google too much.

Brief Answer: NORMAL SCAN. Detailed Answer: Hi Yes it does say everything is normal. Nowhere is your FL on the 17th percentile, it is in the normal range. Please stop worrying, and have a happy pregnancy :)
