Patient's question:
How many weeks into pregnancy does labor start? Is it different for every person?Doctor's answer:
The entire pregnancy lasts about 40 weeks, which is approximately 9 months and 7 days. The estimated due date can be calculated based on the last menstrual period. The estimation method is to start from the second day of the last menstrual period, subtract 3 months or add 9 months to the month, and add 7 days to the day. However, the actual date of delivery may differ by 1 to 2 weeks from the estimated due date. From conception to delivery is 280 days. The patient is directly facing the impact of delivery, and we should promptly follow the principle of symptomatic treatment. Do not avoid seeking medical attention. If the delivery condition does not improve after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
