For pregnant women, it is well known that the due date is only an estimated time of labor based on their pregnancy status. However, some fetuses may give birth a few days earlier or later, which is a normal phenomenon. But if the delay time is relatively long, that is, an expired pregnancy, is the fetus of an expired pregnancy smart?
1. Expired pregnancy can affect the intellectual development of the baby. In some rural areas, elderly people always have to wait for the mother to give birth naturally, thinking that the child will become smarter. However, this is actually unscientific. The nutrients in the expired pregnancy mother's body are no longer sufficient to meet the baby's needs, and may even affect the baby's intellectual development to some extent. So for pregnant women, if there are no signs of childbirth after 42 weeks, they should also seek medical evaluation in a timely manner.
2. Expired pregnancy poses a life-threatening risk to the fetus, and the placenta of pregnant women may also experience aging as the fetus grows older. The blood supply to the placenta will also decrease accordingly, and there may even be dangerous situations such as fetal malformation and asphyxia.
3. Expired pregnancy may be caused by hormonal imbalance in the pregnant woman's body. Hormonal secretion in the pregnant woman's body is disrupted, resulting in less obvious symptoms such as uterine contractions, which can delay delivery. Here, pregnant women are reminded to check their due date and undergo regular check ups to avoid the occurrence of expired pregnancies.
