i think they made a mess of your first results and put the decimals in the wrong place by the looks of things but the results from the 22wk scan make sense i cant say if its big or small though the measurements are bigger than mine at my 20wk scan an my baby was measuring a few days ahead so id say for 22wks your measurements are ok but id ask the midwife to explain them for you x

thanks everyone. is it weird to you that the femur is in 99% and everything else so small? is that a sign of serious disproportion???

You don't know if it's 99% so don't worry until you have the correct information!

I'd ask your doc, as they would have a better idea of the percentiles. Honestly though, 59 mm for femur length at 22 weeks seems long. The average femur length at 22 weeks is 37 mm give or take 5 mm. My LO was in 95% at 21 weeks for femur length and his was 38 mm (measuring 22 w 2 days in femur length)

Who did your ultrasound measurements, a doc or a tech? Maybe the tech had no idea what they are doing, because your numbers still seem off to me.

Edited to add: The angle of the ultrasound can GROSSLY change the measurements!!! Please try not to worry but definitely as your doctor to explain your numbers to you and if he agrees they may be inaccurate, ask for another ultrasound.
