How many days can the due date be delayed at most?

Some women start calculating the due date after they become pregnant. By calculating the due date, they can prepare a lot of delivery items. For example, if the delivery period is in summer, then they should prepare some cooler clothes. If the delivery period is in winter, they must make preparations for keeping warm. Then how many days can the delivery period be delayed at most?

The delivery date can be delayed up to 14 days, and it is normal within this period. It mainly depends on whether the woman's menstrual period is regular, so the delivery date will be relatively delayed. If the ultrasound examination shows that the fetus is normal, then the appropriate delay of a few days will not have any impact on the fetus.

If you experience abdominal pain, spotting, or vaginal discharge during the period beyond the due date, you should go to the hospital for examination immediately. If the situation is special, the doctor will recommend a cesarean section to prevent the fetus from staying in the abdomen for too long and causing suffocation, which will directly affect the fetal brain development.

Therefore, when the due date is approaching or approaching, women must pay great attention to it, and a family member must be by their side during this stage. If there is any problem, they can go to the hospital for examination immediately to avoid making some wrong actions due to lack of experience, which may cause serious harm to the fetus.

What to do if the due date is exceeded

If you are within a week of your due date, here are some of the things you should do:

1. Don't be too anxious, because even if the number of weeks of pregnancy is accurate, giving birth within half a month after delivery will not have much impact on maternal and child products, but you need to monitor the baby's fetal movement yourself and do a good job of fetal movement monitoring. If the fetal movement is less than 3 times per hour or less than 20 times within 12 hours, or the fetal movement is weak and irregular, you should see a doctor for further examination and let the doctor decide on the time of delivery after examination.

2. Have another pregnancy check-up and inform your doctor of the results of the previous examinations (B-ultrasound, blood tests, pregnancy tests, etc.), the latest B-ultrasound results, and the time and results of recent fetal movements. Ask the doctor to help you re-check the number of weeks of pregnancy.

3. Improve prenatal checkups, shorten prenatal checkup time, keep in touch with your doctor anytime and anywhere, inform him of the intrauterine condition, and do B-ultrasound to track changes in amniotic fluid flow. If there are no abnormalities, then wait again, otherwise induction may be needed.

If the due date is exceeded by one week, hospitalization for delivery is required according to the doctor's advice.

If the due date exceeds half a month or more, you need to see a doctor immediately, because it is a post-term pregnancy, the embryo will become fragile, and fetal hypoxia and suffocation may occur. When you go to the hospital, the doctor will develop a treatment plan based on the overdue pregnancy.
