Femur length
Hi
My wife is 34 weeks pregnant and we had our Doppler yesterday. Evrything was fine. Baby had 2kg of weight. Doc said FL( femur length ) is 60.5 and corresponds to 31 weks 3 days.
And it is less.. my height is 5'10 and wife is 5'3 almost (158cm)
What does it means? Would baby gain height properly in his life?

It means nothing.
There are many things in the World about which you can worry. Why worry about this?
You will get some idea about what the height of your baby is likely to be when your baby is 2 years old. It is too early to predict.
Please see the other measurements of your baby. Is he lacking in all parameters ?

Femur length is a constant
At 34 weeks if the femur length is small a discrepancy of more than 2 weeks is abnormal
It cud be a genetic dwarf baby
U can connect with the ultrasound findings
