Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Fetal biometric parameters are antenatal ultrasound measurements that are used to indirectly assess the growth and well being of the fetus.
Biparietal diameter (BPD) is one of the basic biometric parameters used to assess fetal size.
BPD together with head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL) are computed to produce an estimate of fetal weight.
Now according to your report
You have completed your 5 months of pregnancy.And 6th just started.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
