Girls, could you please advise me on what to do? The pregnancy term based on my menstrual cycle is one thing, but the ultrasound shows a completely different one. Which pregnancy term should I consider as accurate?

It is generally better to rely on the date of your last menstrual period, as this is a more stable indicator. An ultrasound in the first trimester is also very important, as it can help clarify the due date, especially if there are discrepancies. If you have any doubts, it is best to discuss this with your gynecologist — they can provide more accurate recommendations based on your specific situation and ultrasound results.

There is an obstetric gestational age, which is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period.

There is also an actual gestational age, which starts from the moment of ovulation. Usually, this is about two weeks less.

Doctors always use the menstrual (obstetric) age for calculations.

And the ultrasound also shows the obstetric gestational age.

My due date is also around 38.5 weeks, but according to the latest ultrasound, I am already at 40 weeks. The gynecologist said this means the fetus is large and developed beyond the expected term. 🤷‍♀️
