Q. I’m pregnant and supposed to be 33 weeks. My doctor said “unspecified gestational age” and I asked what they meant and they said, “any amount of weeks”. What could they mean by that?

It sounds like there might be a miscommunication or misunderstanding between you and your doctor. "Unspecified gestational age" usually isn't a standard medical term or diagnosis. Gestational age refers to the number of weeks since the first day of your last menstrual period, which is used to estimate the time of conception and the due date of your baby.
If your doctor mentioned "any amount of weeks," it could be a phrasing error or perhaps they were trying to convey that they need more information to accurately determine your gestational age. It's important to clarify this situation with your doctor to ensure you have a clear understanding of your pregnancy progress.
You might consider scheduling another appointment or reaching out to your healthcare provider to discuss your gestational age, due date, and any concerns you might have about your pregnancy. Open communication will help you receive accurate and reassuring information about your pregnancy journey.
