Fetal weight and low HC BPD percentile.

2026-07-10 17:58:24
Dear Doctor, I am sharing my ultrasound reports from today and from approximately 25 days ago. I noticed that the baby’s HC and BPD appear to have shown little or no growth, while the AC percentile has improved. Could this be due to ultrasound measurement variability, or is it a cause for concern? What would you recommend as the next course of action?
