A member asked:

Babies can measure too big or too small, does that cause your lmp date to be off? or make it seem as if you're further along than you thought?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

LMP date could cause: You may have recalled your last period date (lmp)incorrectly and then your due date may not be accurately calculated. You may have gestational diabetes and that can cause a fetus to grow larger more rapidly than it should. You may have decreased blood flow from the placenta to the fetus ( like from smoking) and this can decrease the rate of growth of the fetus.
