Objective: This study focused on determining the correctness of the ultrasonography process to find the date of delivery within pregnancy during the First Trimester. This was a cross-sectional study held at the Mayo Hospital, Lahore from February to September 2018. Results: observations made in the first trimester showed the deliveries accuracy rate as 109 (86%) predictable by ultrasound. In Group 1 (18 – 35 years) there were 106 (84%) patients with a frequency rate 88 (83%) and Group 2 was having age range (36 – 50 years), and there were 22 (16.5%) and with the accuracy rate 100%. In the initial group of gestational age, there were 78 (61.4%) patients with an accuracy rate 73 (94%) and within the second group of gestational age, 49 (38.89%) patients were included with an accuracy rate 37 (74%). Conclusion: For the detection of the date of delivery, ultrasound-based EDD approximation is better during the 1st trimesters.
