Abstract
Back Ground-. Rapid and accurate determination of gestational age (GA) may be vital to identifyind the expected date of delivery and also in treating the critically ill pregnant patient and improve obstetric care through allowing the optimal timing is necessary.In this study an attempt has been made to know the correlation of ultra sound parameters with LMP. OBJECTIVES-The aim of the study is to correlate Gestational age by Last Menstrual period and Gestational age by fetal parameters like Biparietal Diameter, Head circumference, Abdominal circumference and Femur Length.and To find out which parameter is most positively correlates with Gestational age. MATERIALS AND METHODS- All the pregnant woman of 2nd and 3 trimester of pregnancy attending the antenatal clinic was registered and included in the study. Ultra sonogram to all the registered pregnant was done by sonologist and biparietal diameter, head circumference,femur length and abdominal circumference recorded. RESULTS- Among all the 4 parameters femur length found to be most reliable parameter in estimating gestational age in 2nd and 3rd trimesters. CONCLUSION: FL observed in present study showed a high degree of positive correlation ship with GA.
