When female friends discover that they are pregnant, they need to calculate the pregnancy time and due date, which can help everyone prepare for the upcoming delivery. As long as a woman gives birth after 37 weeks of pregnancy, the baby is considered full-term. If it is less than 37 weeks, it belongs to premature infants. So, how to give birth early?
After pregnancy, most women give birth around 40 weeks of gestation. If early delivery is needed, injection of oxytocin can stimulate contractions and achieve the goal of early delivery. Pregnant women can also choose to have a cesarean section, which can also help the baby be born earlier.
Some women may suffer from certain diseases during pregnancy, which can affect fetal development. If there are significant health problems in the late stages of pregnancy, doctors usually recommend early delivery to ensure the health of both the mother and the fetus. For example, if there is an amniotic membrane infection in late pregnancy, the pregnant woman needs to give birth early.
If both the pregnant woman and the fetus are healthy, it is not recommended to give birth early. Due to artificial early production, there may be some unnecessary risk factors. If a child is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy, it is prone to complications such as premature birth. These babies have immature lung development, so most of them will have neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, so they need to stay in the incubator for a period of time.
