Aim: Detection of the accurate gestational age evaluation method in second half of pregnancy comparing TCD and conventional fetal biometry. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional observational study was carried out on 294 pregnant women in their second half of pregnancy at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Port Said University Maternity Hospital and Diarb Negm Hospital. Results: TCD was accurate in 91.5% of the cases.
