Any test result decoders on board? lol

Wipz

Usually I can root out the information on my results  pretty well.. but the ones from my last sono have me beat... can anyone make any sense of this, before I get my Dr to explain it in English lol.  The only bit I saw that made much sense to me in the results was that my LMP dates and my US dates don't match... US dates have this lad at 5 days further along. Appreciate any input, good or bad. just dont tell me I am having a 16 pounder *grin

MEASUREMENTS & FETAL AGE FETAL GROWTH EVALUATION

Measurement GA Range Source % 19w3d Ratios
----------- ----- ------------- ------- ---------- ----------------------------
BPD 4.5 cm 19w4d (17w6d-21w2d) Hadlock BPD 55% FL/BPD 0.66
HC 17.4 cm 19w6d (18w3d-21w3d) Hadlock HC 65% FL/AC 0.19
AC 15.4 cm 20w4d (18w4d-22w5d) Hadlock AC 76% HC/AC 1.13 (1.06 - 1.25)
FL 3.0 cm 19w1d (17w3d-21w0d) Hadlock FL 45% CI 0.70 (0.70 - 0.86)
HL 2.9 cm 19w3d (16w5d-22w1d) Jeanty HL 51%

GA for sonogram 20w1d (18w3d-21w6d) Fetal Weight Estimate:
based on (BPD,AC) Hadlock Weight: 322 gm (275-369) Hadlock
: 0lbs, 11oz
Normal: 296 gm (222-370) Hadlock
Wt% 67% for 19.4 wks

I know this only because I looked this stuff up online after one of my ultrasounds:

BPD: Biparietal diameter (a measurement of part of the heard)

HC: Head circumference

AC: Abdominal circumference

FL: Femur length

HL: Not sure what this is

GA: Gestational age

And I think Hadlock is named after the person who came up with the formula for calculating fetal weight based upon the above. It looks like your LO's measurements range between the 45th percentile and 76th percentile for each of those. I wouldn't be too worried about a 16 pounder....maybe a 9 pounder lol. Also, I have heard that the weight estimate can vary by 20% in either direction.

HL is humerus length.

I'm 5 foot 1 an a half  and was planning au naturale.... maybe hypermobile joints won't seem so bad if I have a 9lber heading that way lol.  thanks for the info
