I have heard from people since I was young that pregnant women usually have a baby in October, which is usually 40 weeks. However, some mothers may experience various labor symptoms and childbirth around 38 weeks. When they go to the hospital for examination, doctors will also calculate the expected delivery date for mothers based on the development of the fetus. So why hasn't she given birth after 38 weeks and 5 days?
Everything in the world follows the laws of nature, and it's the same for pregnant women to give birth. Generally, if a fetus doesn't give birth after 38 weeks and 5 days, pregnant women don't need to worry. The fetus will react and give birth around 15 days before and after the due date, and the specific time depends on individual circumstances. Before giving birth, pregnant women may experience some labor symptoms, which may vary from the previous delivery situation of the mother.
If the mother has not given birth after 38 weeks and 5 days, she can first check if she has reached the doctor's due date. If she has not given birth after the due date, she can take more walks or climb stairs to help with vaginal delivery later. According to the doctor's judgment, she can also receive an induction injection to help activate the fetus in her belly.
Generally, the due date is calculated based on the last menstrual cycle, and the entire pregnancy period should be around 10 months. It is normal for a pregnant woman to give birth around 38-42 weeks of pregnancy. Generally speaking, if the baby stays in the mother's womb for a longer period of time, the baby's system will also develop more fully, which is better for the baby's growth and development health. Therefore, there is no need to worry if the baby has no response by 38 weeks plus 5 days.
