USG Pregnancy at 32W-3D
Hello Doc, Please find attached reports of USG of my wife done at 32W-3D. Few questions i want to ask 1. Is HC & AC of baby fine? How to increase them? What about EFW. 2. Cervix length was 2.8 at 30 weeks now it is 2.4. Wife is resting & not doing any major physical activity. Using only washroom & sometimes takes light walk for 5 mins. Also having suprox SR as prescribed by doc. Why is it reducing so fast? 3. AFI is same as was on 30 week scan. How to increase it more? She's having 3ltr water, eggs, protein powder with milk, chicken, coconut water, Aminofit tablets. Anything else to increase AFI? Her BP, Sugar is fine. HB was 10 at 30 weeks. Iron tablets going on. Gain of 10kg weight from start of pregnancy. Fetal movements are fine. Looking forward to your response. Thank you.

The simple answer to most of your questions is "It is not in your hand or in the Doctor's hand" If it was so simple there would have been too many Amitabh Bachchans and Einsteins and no  dwarfs and mentally retarded people on this Earth. HC is the head circumference. It can never be increased, nor can we increase the size of the brain. AC is the abdominal circumference. It is very big in Diabetic babies. I am sure it was never on your mind to get that. Same answer for EFW. AFI is very high in diabetic babies. In fact there is no 100% sure treatment to increase AFI. It is high or low due to  certain inbuilt problems faced by the baby  . All the medicines you have been prescribed by the Doctor are empirical. They may be given credit or discredit for the outcome. But to say that "the results must be seen" when treatment has been given is like asking a politician that every Indian must get a job . That is. advocate's or Judge's way of talking, not Doctor's way. If you are genuinely concerned about her, do something for her Haemoglobin. She is just at the border line. You still have time. It can be increased to 12 gm%. By seeing this type of questions we get an idea why so many Indian Doctors get beaten at the hands of patients' attendants.

All parameters are fine Hc ...or head circumference cannot be increased For increasing ac improve protein intake weight is ok Length of cervix should be more than 2.5 Less than that is a predictor of preterm labour Suprox may not help Amniotic fluid is less Should be more than 10 Repeat ultrasound after ten days Count strict daily fetal movements Amniotic fluid will not increase with mother's intake
