Hello.
Thankyou for contacting HCM.

I have gone through your query and I would also advise rescan after 1 week as these measurements on ultrasound are too large for a 12 week pregnancy. There maybe chances of abnormality and needs to be ruled out.

Thankyou for contacting HCM. Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any query.
Wishing you and your baby good health.
