    Abstract

    Accurately determining gestational age is pivotal for safe antenatal care, benefiting both mother and fetus by guiding screening tests, labor induction, and assessments. While clinicians previously relied on history and physical exams, ultrasound now predominates due to irregular menstrual cycles. The first trimester is optimal for ultrasound-based dating, yet accuracy diminishes in the third trimester, with a ±2-week standard deviation after 34 weeks. Thus, there's an need to develop new ultrasound indices for precise gestational age determination in later stages, ensuring optimal care throughout pregnancy. METHODS: Hospital based observational cross sectional study done in Konaseema institute of medical science and research foundation ,Amalapuram. RESULTS: A Significant positive linear correlation was found between gestational age and fetal colon diameter
