Patient's question:
Now I have been pregnant for 40 weeks with a belly child, and it has been 2 days past the due date. Still, there are no signs of labor at all. The doctor said not to worry and that if there is no labor in another 10 days, I will need to be given induction medication. I would like to consult about the symptoms of a post-term baby's birth?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the current situation is that you are 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant, with no signs of labor. This is normal. Being past the due date has nothing to do with the gender of the baby. Don't worry too much, as long as your gestational age does not exceed 42 weeks and your prenatal check-ups are normal, you can continue to wait. Pay attention to whether there is vaginal bleeding during normal times. Rest more often and ensure you get enough sleep. If there is no abdominal pain, you can wait a few more days and continue to get enough sleep. In terms of diet, it should be diverse. If there is no reaction within two weeks, you will need to be given induction of labor medication.
