A member asked:
When is it appropriate to change a due date?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Due date change: Due dates are changed when two or more landmark parameters disagree with the LMP. Those landmarks are ultrasound dating, fetal heartbeat first heard, interval fetal growth, date of quickening by the mother, etc. Besides, the pregnancy is usually 40+ weeks long and the Great Creator often decides actual labor dates anyway. The adage is true "If the apple is ripe, it will fall off the tree."
