How to Calculate Age Pregnancy
There is no theory that can accurately calculate the gestational age of the mother during pregnancy. Currently there is no precise way of knowing when a mother's air-ovulation. All I calculate gestational age that exist today are estimates only.
Midwife or obstetrician will usually calculate gestational age based on the first date of the last menstrual period or by the peak height of the uterus, but the second way we can not meet anymore.
Therefore, when we examined first pregnancy, ask your doctor or midwife who is on how mothers last menstrual period.
How do I calculate the gestational age based on the first day of the last menstrual period?
How to calculate gestational age with this formula applies to women who have regular menstrual cycles and that every 28 days.
The first date of menstruation is commonly called First Day of Last Menstrual
What if I do not know the date of my first menstruation, or irregular menstrual cycles?
Ultrasonography (USG) is the solution. Nowadays every gynecologist who has practiced this tool, whether 2D, 3D, 4D even with the advantages and disadvantages of each.
With an obstetrician ultrasound will measure the circumference of the head and head to rump length of the fetus, so the mother gestational age can be estimated.
Calculating Estimated Birth Day
The trick is to add 7 on the first day of the last menstrual period, then reduce month by 3 and add 1 year.
While for months that can not be reduced three, such as January, February and March, the month plus 9, but the year is not added.
Simply put, use this formula:
• Date of last menstrual +7 = the approximate date of birth
• In the last menstrual period - 3 = approximate birth month
• For the month of January, February, March, month last period +9
