A member asked:
My baby's head measure 18 weeks at 17 week ultrasound and leg measured 16 weeks at 17 week ultrasound, should i be concerned?

Fetal ultrasound: All fetal measurements are compared to an "average" for each component. The measurements of individual fetal parameters are thus variable, and dependent on multiple factors influencing fetal growth. The "head and leg" measurements are normal for dates, and should produce no adverse concerns.
