What are the Challenges in Measuring Gestational Age?
Accurately determining gestational age can be challenging due to: - Recall Bias: Reliance on the mother's recall of her LMP can introduce errors. - Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Women with irregular cycles may have inaccurate LMP-based estimates. - Access to Ultrasound: In low-resource settings, limited access to early ultrasound can hinder accurate gestational age assessment.
