Is it normal for the ultrasound to show a different gestational age and fetal weight compared to the last menstrual period (LMP) calculation? I am currently 30 weeks and 1 day according to my LMP, but the ultrasound showed that I am 28 weeks and 6 days with a fetus weight of 1197 grams. Should I be concerned about this discrepancy?

It is not uncommon for there to be a discrepancy between the gestational age calculated based on your last menstrual period (LMP) and what is measured during an ultrasound. The LMP calculation assumes that ovulation and conception occurred on day 14 of your menstrual cycle, which may not always be accurate.

Ultrasound measurements are considered more accurate in determining gestational age as they take into account various factors such as fetal size, development, and growth rate. However, even ultrasounds can have a margin of error.

In your case, the ultrasound shows that you are slightly behind in terms of gestational age compared to what was calculated based on your LMP. This could be due to variations in individual growth rates or differences in ovulation timing. As long as there are no other concerning factors or complications identified by your healthcare provider, this discrepancy is generally considered within normal range.

The fetal weight of 1197 grams falls within an acceptable range for this stage of pregnancy. Fetal weight can vary depending on multiple factors such as genetics, maternal health, and nutrition.

It is important to discuss any concerns or questions you have with your healthcare provider who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific situation. They will monitor your pregnancy closely through regular check-ups and additional ultrasounds if necessary to ensure both you and your baby are healthy.

The usg age is accurate one, because there may be some variation in telling the lmp date. As per ur usg, ur baby age is 28+ week. Also foetus weight can be 1100g to 1400g during this week. So don worry, ur baby is healthy and its correct and normal weight. Take healthy food, fruits, vegetables and dry fruits. Take care and do not worry, be happy...
