Does Delivering A Baby Earlier Than Due Date Change My Date Of Conception?
Question: I am 35 weeks pregnant my due date is September 28 .....if I deliver my baby early does that change my conception date
Brief Answer:
No.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Delivering a baby earlier than the due date does not change your date of conception. The baby is called a premature delivery if delivered before 37 completed weeks. The date of conception however will remain the same.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
