A member asked:

Would a doctor/ob-gyn determine how far a woman is in her pregnancy, and when the baby is due?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely: It is very important to know how far along you are in your pregnancy. The age of the fetus or gestational age determines when certain screening tests are done and how to treat you if a problem arises. Dating is done by looking at the date of your last menstrual period, physical exam and an ultrasound.

Dr Zacharias and another doctor agreed
