Hello and welcome to HCM,     
I am Dr Nilajkumar a consultant gynecologist and I will be helping you in your queries.

Please do not worry. Your report is normal. The liquor is the medical term for the fluid that normally surrounds the baby. It is adequate means that the fluid is in correct amount [ it is not less or more as both of these are associated with problems for the baby]. So yours is OK.

Largest cord free pocket is the terminology for how we estimate the amount of fluid, the place where it is measured is called the pocket and 'cord free' means that the umbilical cord that connects the baby to the mother is not in the measuring field [ ideal condition]. So the measurement was accurate and correct and the fluid is adequate without the cord distorting the readings.

So you have a normal report. Congratulations. Do not worry.
All my good wishes are with you.

Hope this was helpful.
Feel free to ask any further queries and I will be happy to help.
Thanks for using HCM.
Have a good day.
