Can BDP Of Fetus Measure At 32 Weeks During 37th Week Of Pregnancy?

I am 37 weeks pregnant but the BDP of fetus is measuring at 32 weeks while AC & FL measuring at 36 weeks. Baby head resting far down on cervix. Is it possible that this reading is inaccurate? -I am extremely worried. I'm 28,height is 1.67m,weight 90kg at 37weeks pregnant. Smoker but no other health issues

welcome to Health care magic.
1.During the 37weeks and above the values can be little altered as the head is engaged in some cases in gives false sections.
2.If FL and AC, HC are corresponding only BPD is not then its just an error, every thing is fine.
3.In this case i would have ask for BPP ( biophysical profile ) and fetal doppler evaluation.
4.Even the estimated dates of labour is not considered in the late weeks of pregnancy.
5.Keep monitoring the baby movements, any thing suspicious see ER as soon as you can.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
