Fetal growth is dynamic and serial measurements at 2 to 3 week intervals are needed to define normality and abnormality. Normal growth is defined by measurements of the head (biparietal diameter, head circumference), abdomen circumference (AC) and femur length within the normal ranges for gestation.

Fetal growth is dynamic and serial measurements at 2 to 3 week intervals are needed to define normality and abnormality. Normal growth is defined by measurements of the head (biparietal diameter, head circumference), abdomen circumference (AC) and femur length within the normal ranges for gestation. Fetal weight can be estimated by combining these para­meters in a pre-determined formula. Abnormal growth is defined as measurements of the head and/or abdomen and/or limbs falling below the normal ranges.
