Question
Dear doctor, I am at 38 weeks of pregnancy, ultrasound shows that all other indicators are within normal range, fetal weight 2.8kg, biparietal diameter 91mm, cvd 312mm, however femur length ( FL) is only 65mm. So let me ask, 38 weeks pregnant with a femur length of 65mm is it a defect? Is there any other risk, doctor?
