Ive just had my scan buzzing we're having a girl.

I don't understand these measurements, are they normal? and what did they measure?
fl: 29.5mm
hc: 176.3mm
ac 154.7mm

I just did a google:

FL = femur length

HC= head circumfirence

AC= abdominal circumference

i'm sure google could give you average ranges too for the GA (gestational age).

I was on the 50th centime for everything (are the graphs on the back of your scan data sheet?

You should have like a bar scale with those measurements plotted on..

But if any concerns you would have been informed.

You've a long way to go so even if on the lower end of scale that will all change... Try not to worry & enjoy Smile

I just had 20 week scan and this baby is like my first - spot on the 50th centile for femur and abdominal circumference but a big head - 182mm! Didn't cause any problems with my son, I just have babies with big heads apparently! Also can't get hats to fit me so that may be where they get it from!
