Got my first scan and the report has CRL written with some number. Doc didnt explain much and I didnt ask properly. What does it mean exactly? Is it about baby size?
Seeing that CRL measurement on my very first scan report made it feel so real. It's just the length of your tiny baby from head to bottom, and it's a beautiful milestone.
My doctor told me CRL is just Crown Rump Length to check how the baby is growing in early weeks. Don't worry about all these medical terms in reports, doc will guide you if anything is needed.
I think CRL means Crown Rump Length, which is the measurement from the baby's head to bottom. It's so sweet to think about how they measure such a tiny baby.
It's just Crown Rump Length to track growth. Make sure you get your routine scans done at a reasonable, certified lab to save on costs, as doctors check this in every early scan.
I remember looking at my CRL values during my early scans, it helps doctors calculate your actual due date. Just focus on your rest and recovery, don't worry about the numbers.
