The due date for pregnant women is calculated based on the last menstrual period of the woman. Generally, the entire pregnancy lasts for 40 weeks, and after 37 weeks, the baby is full-term and can start giving birth. If the baby has not given birth after 42 weeks, it is necessary to pay attention. So, what should we do if the baby hasn't come out by the due date?
If the baby has not yet arrived at the due date, pregnant women need to relax and not be too nervous. At the same time, they can go to the hospital for a check-up to see the condition of the placenta and fetus. Normally, babies are born between 37 and 42 weeks without any problems. If the pregnant woman checks the health of the fetus and there are no abnormalities in the placenta, she can wait for a while.
The developmental level of each baby is different, so pregnant women should not be too anxious and can exercise appropriately. If the hospital detects aging of the placenta during examination, it is very dangerous for the fetus and requires injection of an oxytocin needle or a cesarean section for delivery.
In general, if the baby has not yet arrived at the due date, it is advisable to first check the health of the fetus and the condition of the placenta. If there are no problems, there is no need to do anything else and wait for the baby to start naturally. If the placenta is aging and the fetus has abnormalities, cesarean section or injection of oxytocin is required for delivery.
