BACKGROUND Foetal biometry is very informative. Patients have become very vigilant about the well-being of the foetus and are now comparing the ultrasound reports with their previous reports and with those on the net. Low measurements create panic in the family of the mother and for the mother also. Aims and Objectives-To study a large number of gravid females to know if Indian foetuses are smaller in anyway than those in western countries. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is an observational study. Healthy pregnant ladies with a single live foetus were selected for the study. 4595 cases were selected and they were examined for BPD, HC, AC, FL and foetal weight by a single observer on a single machine. RESULTS All parameters were measured in 4595 pregnant females from 18 years to 35 years age for BPD, HC, AC, FL and foetal weight. It was observed that our measurements were in no way less than those of other countries and were comparable with those of Hadlock et al. CONCLUSION All our values were slightly more than those of other authors in the early weeks of gestation, but as pregnancy advanced our measurements were nearly the same as those of other authors.
