[Grammar] The baby will have been born by November.

[beachboy]

When somebody says "The baby will have been born by November" does it mean that on November 1st the baby will certainly be around us? Can it mean that the mother might have the baby on November 22nd?

To me, it means it will be born no later than October 31st.
