#AskTheExpert Hello, in my anomaly scan at 20th week , baby's Femur length (FL) as well as other long bones were under 5th percentile 24.9 mm. Doctor suggested for interval growth scan at 24th week to assess the growth and it was found that there was growth in the long bones but still the percentile was under 5 only. Femur length being 37.3 mm. Can you suggest how to increase the length of baby's bones. Should i be worried about it or the length of bones can increase till delivery time or after baby's birth. Please find the report.

A. You can always take a second opinion and as from the report, I can see that you are located in Bangalore, You can go to Bangalore fetal medicine center and get it done.
