I just wanted to know about when they take measurements, there are 4 things they measure. BPD, HC, AC, and FL. Does anyone know what these letters stand for? I just wondered because I was wanting to know the size of my baby's head.

HC Head circumference
AC abdomen circumference
FL femur length
BPD Biophysical data -- aka BPP Biophysical profile
The BPD or BPP is the measurement of amniotic fluid, fetal heart rate, and the level of blood flow from the placenta through the umbilical cord to the baby

BPD is biparietal diameter, another measurement of the baby's head. Biophysical profile is something else.
