Please can you help with scan abbreviations?

I had a scan this morning due to pink discharge and the notes are as follows:

HC = 131.2mm (16w 5d)

Adnexa NAD

I am 16w 2days does anybody know if the above are normal? Sonographer was not concerned just wondering why the HC measurement is different date.

Thanks x

Hc: head circumference... the date is what your babys head is measuring.. so that of a 16+5 baby.. just means you bubs is a little bigger

NAD: means no abnormalities detected
Adnexa: uterus structure

xx see nothing to worry about

I think HC is head circumference and I think that it means that your baby's head measures the same as one that is 16w 5d old. If I am right, its certainly nothing to worry about, or change your dates over. Every baby grows at different rates, and some weeks will measure bigger. The only thing that matters is that baby IS growing. Your date and their measurement are within a few days of each other, so baby is growing as expected.

As for the other measurement, I have no idea!
