Ultrasound in 31-32 weeks, as a rule, is the third for the entire pregnancy, if the future mother was all right.
The interpretation of ultrasound scores at 32 weeks gestation is also reduced to establishing their compliance with existing regulatory values. So, the norm for ultrasound at 32 weeks is:
- BPR in the range 75-89 mm;
- OG - 283-325 mm;
- LZ - 95-113 mm;
- OJ - 258-314 mm.
The weight of the fetus and its growth are also determined. The normal weight is 1700-1800 g and the height is about 43 cm. A significant excess of these values may indicate that the child will be large and the woman will need a caesarean section.
In addition to determining the above indicators, it is important to determine whether the fetus has developmental pathologies that can affect the baby's health after birth.
It can be heart disease and intestinal obstruction. If you notice them in time and take timely measures, these serious ailments will not affect the further life of the crumbs.
Fetal position on ultrasound in 32 weeks
Based on the results of ultrasound in 32 weeks of pregnancy, fetal presentation is also determined. The norm is the head previa. But the child can take both the gluteal and transverse position. If the presentation is wrong, there may be a threat to the health of both the baby and his mother. Therefore, the definition of fetal presentation is an important criterion for choosing the method of delivery.
The degree of maturation, thickness and position is determined. Deviation is considered placenta previa , when it overlaps the cervix or is too low.
The decrease or increase in thickness of the placenta indicates its insufficiency or infection.
Too rapid maturation of the placenta is also not an indicator of the norm. This can change the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus. The condition is not dangerous, but requires constant medical supervision.
