Question
At four months pregnant, the B-ultrasound shows a biparietal diameter of 4.6 cm, femur length of 3.1 cm, normal fetal heart rate, maximum amniotic fluid depth of 5.5 cm, placenta located at the posterior wall of the uterus, maturity level 0, and a U-shaped indentation visible on the fetus’s neck. The color Doppler shows that there is umbilical cord blood swirling around the fetus’s neck. What does this mean?
Answer
According to the description, the B-ultrasound results indicate that your fetus is currently developing normally, but there is a fetal neck circumference phenomenon. This is a relatively common occurrence and will typically be observed in subsequent checks. It is recommended that you have regular prenatal examinations and pay attention to any signs of uterine contractions or other discomfort symptoms. If abnormalities are found during the prenatal examination, the doctor will provide appropriate advice and treatment.
