Gestational age

Gestational age 


Gestational age refers to how far along the fetus is. Many issues that affect newborns are related to the gestational age because it reflects the newborns' degree of physical maturity at birth. The gestational age is the number of weeks between the first day of the mother's last menstrual period and the day of delivery. This time frame is often adjusted according to other information doctors receive, including the results of early ultrasound scans, which give additional information regarding the gestational age. Babies are estimated to be due (the due date) at a gestational age of 40 weeks.
Distribution of gestational age at childbirth

Newborns are classified by gestational age as,
  • Premature: Delivered before 37 weeks of gestation
  • Full-term: Delivered at 37 to before 41 weeks of gestation
  • Late-term: Delivered at 41to before 2 weeks of gestation
  • Post-term: Delivered at 42 weeks or more of gestation
Doctors also use the results of a physical examination and the physical features of the newborn to confirm gestational age.
