What to do about postterm pregnancy

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A pregnancy beyond 14 days past due is considered overdue. However, if your menstrual cycle is irregular, your timing may not be accurate. It is recommended to have an ultrasound to check if the placenta is aging or if there is a lack of amniotic fluid. In such cases, hospital induction of labor is advised. Without any special circumstances, if your menstrual cycle is irregular, you can wait a bit longer. Monitor fetal movement; if it is too frequent or too sluggish, you should go to the hospital.
