What is the difference between gestational age and actual age?

 While gestational age is measured from the first day of your last menstrual period, fetal age is calculated from the date of conception. This is during ovulation, which means that fetal age is about two weeks behind gestational age. This is the actual age of the fetus.

gestational age is how far along you are, while fetal age refers to the age of your baby — usually two weeks apart. While your doctor will use your gestational age to determine the type of care, monitoring, and tests you may need, medically, fetal age isn't something that's looked at or used at all
