Low AC on growth scan

2024-02-03 15:51:08
I did growth scan at 35 week 6 days .. BPD, HC , FL all are above 50th percentile , bpd is close to 90th percentile, only AC is 15th percentile (298.5) mm. Overall EFW is 2720 gm .. amniotic fluid is 9.7 cm. Doppler is also normal . I am scheduled for induced delivery at 38 weeks .. I was on ecosprin till 35 weeks and stopped post that .. is there anything to be worried , can AC be increased in 2 weeks and what is the reason for low AC ? I am also taking arginine twice daily

The reason for the low AC is growth restriction but then the two findings do not corroborate Effective fetal weight is 2.7 Fetal weight more than 2.5 kgs is perfectly normal
