1. A 34 year old pregnant women, Abebech, comes to your health post for ANC visit on a date 2/9/2017 E. Cand she tells you that her LNMP was 23/2/2017E.C.she has previously gave birth 5 times but one of her baby was died during birth due to obstructed labour and two of the babies are twin. So from the above scenario answer the following questions

B. What's her Gestational age And EDD (2%)

1 answer

To calculate the gestational age and estimated due date (EDD) for Abebech based on the information provided, follow these steps:

  1. Last Normal Menstrual Period (LNMP): 23/2/2017 E.C.
  2. Today's date (ANC visit date): 2/9/2017 E.C.

Calculating Gestational Age:

  • Start from the LNMP: 23/2/2017 E.C.
  • Count the number of weeks from the LNMP to the ANC visit date.

February 23, 2017, to March 23, 2017: 4 weeks
March 23, 2017, to April 23, 2017: 4 weeks
April 23, 2017, to May 23, 2017: 4 weeks
May 23, 2017, to June 23, 2017: 4 weeks
June 23, 2017, to July 23, 2017: 4 weeks
July 23, 2017, to August 23, 2017: 4 weeks
August 23, 2017, to September 2, 2017: Approximately 1.5 weeks

Adding these together:

  • 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1.5 = 25.5 weeks

Therefore, Abebech is approximately 26 weeks pregnant at her ANC visit on 2/9/2017.

Calculating Estimated Due Date (EDD):

To calculate the estimated due date, we typically add 280 days (or 40 weeks) to the LNMP.

  1. LNMP: 23/2/2017 E.C.
  2. Add 40 weeks:

Calculating from LNMP:

  • 40 weeks = 280 days
  • 23/2/2017 + 280 days ≈ 29/11/2017

Thus, the Estimated Due Date (EDD) for Abebech will be approximately 29/11/2017 E.C.

Summary:

  • Gestational Age: Approximately 26 weeks
  • Estimated Due Date (EDD): 29/11/2017 E.C.
