What Do Amniotic Fluid Value Of 28.8 Cm In The Below Ultrasound Report Suggest?
Am 36weeks 5days pregnant. Ultrasound reveals BPD:10.2cm, HC:34cm, AC:35cm, FL 6.9. And the baby weighs 3.6kg. Am scared because the gyn said the baby s head is big to pass through the birth canal. Is my baby fine with such measurements. And my amniotic fluid is at 28.8cm

Hello,
Amniotic Fluid Index of 28.8 is above normal and it indicates that the fluid around baby is more than normal.
As the baby head is large as compared to pelvis, you may need caesarean section for delivery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi
