Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can I induce labor?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the gestation period is calculated as 40 weeks, while the concept of full-term birth is 37-42 weeks. It's only considered postterm if it exceeds 42 weeks. Currently, your baby is doing well inside the womb, and there are no signs of oxygen deprivation or the need for artificial intervention to terminate the pregnancy. Additionally, the placenta has already matured, so it's natural for things to fall into place. We recommend that you wait patiently for now.
