About baby growth
Hello Doctor,
I am 37 week pregnant.
Yesterday i have done my ultrasound ( Doppler)
My placenta is low from 4 months and it is still low.
Now doctor is saying that baby growth is more than average. Baby head circumference is more than average as you can see in my attached file.
I am very confused..what is this HC?..It is related to whole face or only forehead part?
Is there any aboromalities in my baby..
Is it really the growth is more than average... ??request you to please clear my doubts..
i am very tensed.
Plz help me out.
What should I do now?
Thanks!!

Hi. No need to worry . There is no fetal abnormality . The head is slightly bigger than the period of gestation . Because of low lying placenta head may not engage .AFI is normal . You can wait till yr dr decides for delivery .
