Fetal Biometry

Fetal biometry refers to the measurement of specific parts of a developing baby during pregnancy, typically using ultrasound. These measurements include the head size, abdomen, and thigh bone, which help assess the baby's growth and development. By comparing these measurements to standard values for a given stage of pregnancy, healthcare providers can determine if the baby is growing normally, identify potential issues, and estimate the due date. It's an essential tool for monitoring fetal health, ensuring that the baby is developing as expected and planning appropriate care if needed.
