Abstract: Accurate knowledge of gestational age is critical for obstetric provision and neonatal care. The estimation of gestational age (GA) from menstrual history is done using Naegele’s rule and it is the method that is universally used. Femur is the longest bone, least movable and easily imageable from second trimester to delivery, so used as routine parameter for estimation of gestational age. Additional parameters can provide a more ‘universal view’ of foetal development than any single measurement. So Fetal kidney length was measured by ultrasonography to determine Gestational Age. The aim of study was to measure foetal kidney length for evaluation of gestational age by ultrasonography and to compare assessment of gestational age between Femur length and Foetal kidney length in third trimester (26-40 weeks) of pregnancy.
Keywords: Last Menstrual Period (LMP), Gestational Age(GA).
