How to solve the problem of not giving birth at 42 weeks

Patient's question:

I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How can I solve the problem if I'm 42 weeks pregnant and haven't given birth yet?

Doctor's answer:

The due date tells you that the baby's development at this stage is ready for delivery. There is no problem within one week before or after the due date. However, severe post-term delivery can affect the fetus. If the pregnancy reaches or exceeds 42 weeks, measures need to be taken.
The self-testing rate of pregnancy test strips is 75%. Results are valid within 5 minutes. False negative or false positive results may occur. The test result is more accurate after delaying menstruation for 10 days. A menstrual cycle delay of about one week is still within the normal range.
