Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

I would have liked if you could share the impression mentioned in your report as it is a summary of all findings and gives average fetal age.

However from what you have written, all parameters are in normal range.
I suppose you are in your 25 - 26 weeks of pregnancy as per findings.
The heart rate and placental position are normal.
Head, abdominal circumference, femur length (thigh bone) are all normal.

Hope this helps.
