A member asked:

If my due date measures august 29th with conception december 6, and my baby decides to come early does that mean ultrasound measured wrong or no?

No: The due date is just a estimated date of when the full pregnancy will be complete. There are many factors that can lead to an early birth and often a baby can be late for no reason. The due date is only the date that completes 9 months. That's all.
