Patient's question:
Hello, doctor! My friend's due date is over a week now, and she hasn't shown any physical symptoms. The hospital hasn't found anything either. Is this normal? Why hasn't she given birth yet?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is normal for the baby to be born within 2 weeks before or after the due date, as long as there are no abnormalities in the fetus, there is no need to be too anxious. Do not exceed the due date by more than 14 days. The process and duration of labor vary from person to person. Maintain a relaxed mood, pay attention to rest and appropriate exercise, and monitor the baby's fetal heart rate and amniotic fluid levels at all times. If there are any abnormalities, a cesarean section may be considered. In summary, exceeding the due date by two weeks is considered abnormal. Based on your situation, it is a normal phenomenon. Do not be anxious. Wishing you and your baby good health.
