CRL is measured as the largest dimension of embryo, excluding the yolk sac and extremities. It is used as a primary measure of gestational age between 6-13 weeks. After 13 weeks, head circumference, biparietal diameter, and femur length measurements become more useful measurements for assessing fetal growth.
When can CRL be measured?
The crown-rump length (CRL) is a measurement of the embryo, usually identified at 6 to 7 weeks gestation. The embryo is measured along its longest axis to obtain the CRL measurement (Fig. 2). Crown-rump length may be used to accurately date pregnancy between 7 and 13 weeks gestation.
What size should the CRL be at 7 weeks?

How accurate is CRL measurement at 7 weeks?
Up to and including 13 6/7 weeks of gestation, gestational age assessment based on measurement of the crown–rump length (CRL) has an accuracy of ±5–7 days 11 12 13 14. Measurements of the CRL are more accurate the earlier in the first trimester that ultrasonography is performed 11 15 16 17 18.
How do you calculate CRL?
Gestation by LMP is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. Gestation by CRL is calculated: Weeks = 5.2876 + (0.1584 * Crown_Rump_Length) - (0.0007 * Crown_Rump_Length2). This will be gestation at time of ultrasound. Gestation by BPD is calculated using the formula: Days = 2 * BPD + 44.2.

What should babies heartbeat be at 12 weeks?
Your babys little heart is racing away at about 110 to 160 beats per minute—thats probably twice as fast as yours (and totally normal, BTW). If you cant hear it, dont panic: The baby might be in the wrong position or your due date might be off by a week or two.
