Accuracy if baby came few weeks early?

[el98]

If baby was to come 1/2/3 weeks earlier, can it mean that they got your due date wrong at your 12 week scan, like measurements from how far along you actually was? Or is it just genuinely the baby is earlier

Your due date it's an estimate. Baby can come from 37 weeks to 42 abs classed as full term. This doesn't mean your due date was wrongly estimated, just that each baby need different amount of time to get ready to be born.

No it doesn't mean your due date was wrong... Just means baby came early.

My two spontaneous labour babies were both a couple of weeks early (third baby was induced at 37+5 so I'm not counting that) and the midwife told me that some people just have shorter pregnancies and some people have longer ones. 40 weeks is an average, that's all, and that's what they base the due date on.

Remember babies dont know about dates. Its just a helpful guideline for the adults!
