I am not sure if this is a question or not... and the Subject seems
unrelated.
However, the "gestational age" is a convention and a bit of a misnomer.
According to most English dictionaries "gestation" means "in the uterus".
But in conventional medicine "gestational age" is dated from the last
menstrual period, which is about 2 weeks before ovulation and conception.
This has lead to confusion for the public. Ever have a couple who upon
hearing the "gestational age", and after a moment of calculation, the
husband blurt out "I was out of town that week!"? There is a short story
on OBGYN.net trying to illustrate this problem for the public.
There have been several proposals to use something other than the LMP for
dating the pregnancy. In my book (Fetal Sonography) some tables have
both "conceptual ages" as well as "gestational ages" shown. This past
week at the SDMS 2002 Annual Conference in Atlanta, one lecturer proposed
we should use "weeks menstrual age" (WMA) for more clarity.
Is this what you were asking?
