Introduction
The normal ultrasound parameters at 36 weeks of gestation include values for biparietal diameter, femur length, fetal heart rate, fetal position, amniotic fluid, placenta, and other indicators. At 36 weeks, the reference values are as follows: biparietal diameter 8.9–9.1 cm, femur length 7.0–7.2 cm, fetal heart rate 110–160 beats per minute, fetal position should be cephalic, and amniotic fluid depth should range between 8–18 cm.
At 36 weeks of pregnancy, normal ultrasound parameters include measurements such as biparietal diameter, femur length, fetal heart rate, fetal position, amniotic fluid, and placenta.
By week 36 of pregnancy, the fetus is largely fully developed. An ultrasound examination can provide a general assessment of the fetus's condition. Reference values include: biparietal diameter of 8.9–9.1 cm, femur length of 7.0–7.2 cm, fetal heart rate of 110–160 beats per minute, cephalic (head-down) fetal position, amniotic fluid depth of 8–18 cm, and placental thickness of 3–5 cm. These values are for reference only and should not be considered definitive. Based on the ultrasound findings, doctors can estimate the fetal weight and recommend an appropriate mode of delivery.
Week 36 of pregnancy falls within the third trimester. The fetal organs are mostly well-developed, and preparation for delivery should be underway. Ultrasound imaging allows evaluation of whether the fetal position is normal and whether fetal growth meets expected standards. Doctors use these results to advise pregnant women on the safest delivery method for both mother and baby. The ultrasound examination at 36 weeks is a necessary routine check before childbirth.
