How is Gestational Age Calculated?

Gestational age can be calculated using various methods, including:
- LMP (Last Menstrual Period): The most common method, where the first day of the last menstrual period is used as the starting point.
- Ultrasound: An early ultrasound scan can provide a more accurate gestational age, especially if the menstrual cycle is irregular.
- Physical Examination: Measurement of the fundal height (distance from the pubic bone to the top of the uterus) can also estimate gestational age.
