Normal Nomograms

An accurate knowledge of gestational age is perhaps the most important piece of information in pregnancy management. It is indispensable when considering management during pregnancy and interpreting other diagnostic tests. In Nepal, there has been a strong move toward scanning all obstetric patients; in part to verify gestational age. The gestational age [GA] is calculated by correlating with charts determined in the Western population. Hence, this study is planned to determine the GA in Nepalese women and to compare with previously published charts. Similar circumstances may prevail in other countries also.
