premature or not?

If your baby measures ahead are they still considered premature if born before 37 weeks.. ? for example my baby is measuring at 35weeks but my original due date is 11/27 which makes me 32 weeks.. if i had her in two weeks would she be considered premature or term because she was measuring ahead?

No problem. To be honest i don't understand why they word it like they do in weeks ahead,behind ect. If they're not going to change your due date then why not say measuring a little bigger/smaller than average?

My baby measured 2 weeks ahead for months but I had her at 41 weeks. If they went by the measurements it wouldve been 43 weeks n they induce at 42 weeks latest here in the UK

I think the baby would be classed as premature if they have not changed your due date as the measurements are not always accurate
