After becoming pregnant, female friends can calculate their due date very well. Expectant mothers will always look forward to this day when they know their due date. However, many pregnant women still delay the birth of their babies when they reach their due date. So why do some fetuses exceed their due date?
1. If a fetus is not born after the due date, most cases are caused by low physical activity. If pregnant women exercise regularly, it will keep both the expectant mother and the fetus in a positive state. After the fetus develops well, it secretes a hormone that enters the expectant mother's bloodstream, causing the mother's body to produce oxytocin and trigger uterine contractions.
2. If a pregnant woman's exercise intensity is relatively low, the fetus will lack the exercise strength given by the mother, and its initiative will be poor. It will not be able to secrete hormones well to the expectant mother. Moreover, the muscles of the expectant mother who lacks exercise will lack elasticity, and insufficient oxytocin will not be able to initiate uterine contractions, resulting in the situation of not being born beyond the due date. Moreover, if it is the first pregnancy and the mother is of advanced age, there may also be cases of expired pregnancy.
In normal times, it is a common symptom for the fetus to exceed the due date. In fact, exceeding one week is within the normal range. However, if the delay is too long, it is dangerous and requires attention because the fetus needs to be born at a certain stage of development. If it stays in the uterus for a long time, suffocation may occur.
