She also discsses the importance of having patience, especially late in pregnancy. It is also important to note that ultrasounds can sometimes provide inaccurate information. Similarly, predicting the precise due date of a baby is challenging, and it’s not unusual for the actual delivery dat to vary from the estimated due date.
