Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM

You have absolutely normal findings till date.
Your baby is absolutely fine.
BPD means biparietal diameter of skull of foetus and it corresponds to 20 weeks 4 days.
HC denotes head circumference of foetus and it corresponds to 20 weeks 6 days.
AC is abdominal circumference of foetus and it corresponds to 21 weeks 6 days.
FL is femur length of foetus and it corresponds to 21 weeks 3 days.
Heart rate of fetus is also normal.
Amniotic fluid is borderline high. You need follow up ultrasound.
Cervix is closed(normally it is closed during pregnancy and it opens during delivery) and its length is also normal.
Wish you all the best.

Take Care
