2. Using McDonald’s rule, estimate the gestational age in weeks and lunar months for each of the

following fundal heights:’

a. 16 cm

In Weeks

Height of fundus in cm x 8/7 = duration of pregnancy in weeks.

16cm x 8 / 7 = 18 weeks and 2 days.

AOG = 18 weeks and 2 days

In Lunar months

Height of fundus in cm x 2/7 = duration of pregnancy in lunar months.

16cm x 2 / 7 = 4 months and 4 weeks (20 weeks)

AOG = Fifth lunar month

b. 20 cm

In Weeks

Height of fundus in cm x 8/7 = duration of pregnancy in weeks.

20cm x 8 / 7 = 22 weeks and 6 days

AOG = 22 weeks and 6 days

In Lunar months

Height of fundus in cm x 2/7 = duration of pregnancy in lunar months.

20cm x 2 / 7 = 5 months and 5 weeks (25 weeks)

AOG = Six lunar month

c. 24 cm

Height of fundus in cm x 8/7 = duration of pregnancy in weeks.

24cm x 8 / 7 = 27 weeks and 3 days

AOG = 27 weeks and 3 days

Height of fundus in cm x 2/7 = duration of pregnancy in lunar months.

24cm x 2 / 7 = 6 months and 6 weeks (30 weeks) or Seven lunar month
