Qq4. When doctors discuss prenatal development, they often calculate the due date from the first day of menstruation. In fact, the baby’s gestational age is calculated from the first day of menstruation.

Which of the following is the correct calculation of the baby’s age from the moment of fertilization, assuming a 28-day ovarian cycle? a. The baby is 8 weeks old. This is when organ formation has completed. b. The baby is 10 weeks old as stated by the doctor.
