What should I do if there is no reaction after the due date?

When the due date arrives and the baby still doesn’t start, should you not induce labor? Was your baby born later than his due date? After the pregnant mother becomes pregnant, the doctor will calculate the expected date of delivery for the pregnant mother. Some pregnant mothers' expected delivery date is quite accurate, and the baby will be born on that day. However, some pregnant mothers will initiate the onset of pregnancy earlier, while some pregnant mothers will delay the onset of delivery. Let's take a look at what the doctor says. of?

It is easier for pregnant mothers who start early to start. Just pay attention to the three major signs of labor (pain, redness, water rupture), but what should you do if the start is delayed? If the baby does not start when the expected date of delivery arrives, Should I go to the hospital to induce labor? Listen to what the doctor says.

The explanation given by the doctor is that just after the expected date of delivery, pregnant mothers should not rush to the hospital to induce labor and wait, because the baby may not be ready yet. After all, the expected date of delivery is artificially calculated and can only be used as a For reference, it does not represent the actual growth of your baby.

Next, let’s talk about the calculation of the expected date of delivery:

The expected date of delivery is calculated based on the last menstrual period. Add 9 or subtract 3 to the month of the last menstrual period, add 7 to the day, and calculate the pregnancy date. Mom can easily calculate her due date.

However, some pregnant mothers may not remember the time of their last menstrual period, so they will roughly calculate it based on the time of fetal movement. The time of fetal movement is about 18-20 weeks of pregnancy, plus 20 weeks is the approximate due date.

I mentioned earlier that the expected delivery date can only be used as a reference. This is because the expected delivery date calculated by that algorithm often differs from the actual delivery date by 1-2 weeks. If the pregnant mother has irregular menstruation, the difference will be There will be more, so in order to calculate the expected date of delivery more accurately, some doctors will calculate it through B-ultrasound examination results.

So when it comes to this, some pregnant mothers will ask, if the baby has not started to move after the due date, do we have to wait at home until he starts?

Let’s discuss this with pregnant mothers. By the way, generally our estimated due date is based on a total pregnancy length of 40 weeks, but 37-42 weeks of pregnancy is considered a full-term pregnancy. That is to say, if the mother's due date arrives and the baby has not yet started, this means that the baby has not started yet. Its own growth may not have reached production standards.

Pregnant mothers should not be anxious at this time, because in the third trimester, pregnant mothers go for prenatal check-ups once a week. When it is time for prenatal check-ups, pregnant mothers can just go for pre-natal check-ups on time. The doctor will then Inform the pregnant mother of the baby's growth and health status. However, usually by the 41st week of pregnancy, the doctor will induce labor.

Pregnant mothers should be careful not to wait until 42 weeks before going to the hospital, because if the pregnancy exceeds 42 weeks, the baby is expired. At this time, the placenta may age to a certain extent. Once the placenta ages, the baby may Growth and development will be stagnant, and your own fat may be consumed, and hypoxia and malnutrition may occur. Therefore, the baby must be born when it is due, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss if "reverse growth" occurs.
