Many pregnant women have experienced this situation where the fetus remains motionless as the due date approaches. In this situation, expectant mothers will worry about whether the fetus will have any impact if it is not born at the due date. So why hasn't she given birth after 39 weeks and 6 days?
There are three reasons why the fetus has not yet started when the due date is ready, depending on the pregnant woman's own condition.
1. The calculation of the due date is incorrect: The due date is calculated based on the time of menstruation, and for women with normal menstruation, the due date is more accurate. If a woman's menstrual cycle is not very regular, doctors can only determine the approximate due date. In this case, there may be some errors in the due date, which can easily lead to the fetus not being born by the due date. Don't worry too much in this situation, the fetus will be born later. As long as the prenatal examination is done on time, everything will be normal for the fetus.
2. Ovulation delay: Generally speaking, women's ovulation time is relatively fixed, but some women may experience delayed ovulation. In this case, the calculated due date is slightly earlier than the actual due date, so there may be situations where the fetus has not yet been born during the due date.
3. Abnormal fetal development: In addition to the above two situations, if the fetus has not been born by the due date, it may also be due to developmental problems with the fetus itself. It can be determined through detailed inspection, and measures should be taken at this time. It is possible to give birth to the fetus as soon as possible by administering an induction needle.
