• A healthy fetus should follow established growth curves which exist for estimated fetal weight (EFW), fetal abdominal circumference (AC), [...], femur length (FL), etc.
• Ultrasound estimation of fetal size/weight should NOT be repeated more often than q 2 weeks for a reliable trend
• A fetus growing below the 10th centile or falling off its growth curve may indicate fetal abnormality or compromise, requires more intensive monitoring and may require early delivery
• Consider ethnicity – specific growth curves; twin-specific growth curves
