40 weeks and 2 days of pregnancy, no response

Under normal circumstances, a pregnant woman is no longer due to delivery when she reaches 40 weeks plus two days of pregnancy. At this time, she should pay close attention to various changes in her body, among which changes in uterine contractions are particularly important. Because the frequency of uterine contractions can effectively infer whether the baby is about to be born. However, some pregnant women do not experience any obvious changes in their bodies when they are 40 weeks and two days pregnant. Is this a normal phenomenon?

This is normal, which means that the due date has not arrived yet. Generally, a delay of two weeks is normal. The expected date of delivery is calculated from the first day of the last menstrual period. The entire pregnancy period is 280 days, or 10 months of gestation. Generally speaking, there are 40 weeks in total. In the case you mentioned, the calculated due date of delivery is very accurate. The pregnancy is considered overdue only after 42 weeks. In this case, the only option is to use oxytocin to induce labor and bring the baby out early.

1. Keep a good attitude. If the baby is still in the belly and doesn't come out on the due date, every expectant mother will be anxious and worried, and at a loss. In fact, there is no need to worry, because the due date is calculated based on the 28-day menstrual cycle, and some people's cycle is not 28 days, so there may be a few days difference from the actual one. So it is normal if there is no reaction after forty weeks, because it is not the time yet. Expectant mothers do not need to be anxious, just keep a good attitude and wait patiently.

2 You still need to pay attention to nutrition. You must not think that the baby is full-term. The longer the baby stays in the womb, the harder it will be to give birth. For the health of both adults and babies, diet and other things should be normal. This will help you accumulate more physical strength so that the delivery will be smoother.

3 Go to the hospital for regular check-ups. If there is no response after 40 weeks, you can go to the hospital for a check-up to see if the fetus is normal, measure the fetal heart rate, etc., and see what the doctor says. Generally, the doctor will give advice, and you should pay attention to it according to the doctor's advice.
