Now 40 weeks 2, still no, what's going on?

Patient's question:

Now 40 weeks and 2 days, still no, the baby's biparietal diameter is 9.9, and the abdominal circumference is 35.9. The doctor said the child is too big and asked me to do a glucose tolerance test tomorrow. He said if the sugar is high, I might need to be hospitalized. I want to know what the connection is between the child's size and the glucose tolerance test? What is the thought behind it?

Doctor's answer:

There are many reasons for a large fetus, including:
1. Gestational diabetes in the pregnant woman, which is the main cause of a large fetus.
2. Obesity, such as obesity in the pregnant woman or excessive nutrition during pregnancy.
3. Postterm pregnancy.
4. Fetal diseases.
Now, the doctor is checking to determine the cause of the large fetus.
The above advice is for the question "Now I'm 40 weeks and 2 days, but there's still no movement, what's going on?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
