1. Even one day after PDD is overdue
In fact, postponing is not so much about the timing as about the condition of the child. If his condition worsens, then yes, the pregnancy is unreasonably prolonged. But if all the indicators are normal, then the doctor was simply mistaken with the estimated date of birth.
Pregnancy can last a couple of weeks after PDD - and this is also normal if the baby is normal.
2. The due date is determined by the date of the last menstrual period
In fact, this is very approximate. In women, there is a very different cycle in duration, the date of ovulation (and, accordingly, conception) may vary, and with irregular cycle is generally almost a lottery, when to give birth actually, because ultrasound also does not give absolutely accurate indicators of "age" child.
3. Stress is caused only by premature birth
In fact, nervous experiences can both bring closer and delay childbirth. If a pregnant woman is very afraid of childbirth (and often does not even admit to herself how afraid she is), then this can greatly affect the fact that the baby will not appear in any way
4. A huge belly is a sign of overweight
In fact, the opposite is true. Real overburdening - if the stomach suddenly shrinks, there is little amniotic fluid in it, and this is clearly not good for the child, if not even dangerous.5. The post-term baby will be huge
Many believe that if a child is "carried over", then he will "be fed" during this time, grow up - and it will be more difficult to give birth to him. With true prolonged aging, the placenta becomes very old, the umbilical cord becomes flabby, the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the child is disrupted - accordingly, the baby, on the contrary, runs the risk of being born thin.
