Is the delivery earlier or later than the due date

  After becoming pregnant, ordinary women will endure a lot of physical and mental hardship that ordinary people cannot bear. Due to the arduous process of pregnancy, pregnant women also eagerly hope for the day of delivery to come soon, so that they can end this difficult day. And some pregnant women may not give birth on the due date, so is the delivery earlier or later than the due date?

  

Is the delivery earlier or later than the due date1

  In fact, some pregnant women do not give birth within the due date. The due date is only an approximate date calculated based on the menstrual period of the pregnant woman, and is not an accurate delivery date. Due to the different ovulation days of each woman, even two pregnant women in the same month are unlikely to give birth on the same day. Therefore, it is normal for the actual delivery time to be earlier or later than the expected due date.

  In medicine, it is normal to be born two weeks earlier or two weeks later than the due date, and the baby is also a full-term baby. But if the baby is born before 38 weeks of pregnancy, it is considered premature. If the fetus has not been born after 42 weeks of pregnancy, pregnant women should closely monitor the condition of the fetus and, if necessary, undergo a cesarean section.

  In order to avoid being flustered before giving birth, it is recommended that pregnant women start preparing items for delivery two weeks before the due date. For example, baby's clothing, bottles, diapers, as well as their own confinement gowns, mattress pads, toiletries, etc., can all be prepared in advance. Once the necessary items for delivery are packed, you can safely wait for delivery.
