Diagnosis of postmaturity

Last reviewed dd mmm yyyy. Last edited dd mmm yyyy

Authoring team

The diagnosis of postmaturity is often very uncertain.

Antenatal records should be consulted for accurate predictors of the gestational age. Relevant information includes:

  • a certain LMP in a woman with regular periods
  • a bimanual examination between the 8th and 14th weeks of gestation
  • a crown-rump measurement (1st trimester) or biparietal diameter (2nd trimester) by ultrasound scan
