Reasons for not having a second child by the due date

Many friends who were expecting their second child found that there was still no movement when the due date came, and they worried that something might be wrong. In fact, the due date is just a predicted date, which does not mean that the baby will be born on that day. If there is still no movement on the due date, you can consult a doctor before making the next choice and examination.

Reasons for not giving birth after the due date

Continuous exercise will keep both the mother and the fetus in an active state. When the fetus matures, it will secrete a hormone that enters the mother's blood, prompting the mother's pituitary gland to secrete oxytocin, initiating uterine contractions and bringing about labor. After delivery, the fetus actively searches for the appropriate meridian in the mother's pelvis to move outward. As labor progresses, the fetus will gradually descend under the push of the polar and symmetrical contractions of the uterus and the contractions of the abdominal muscles. When the fetal head reaches the pelvic floor, the fetus will be delivered smoothly with the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles.

When pregnant women exercise less, the fetus will lack the power of passive movement provided by the mother, have poor initiative, and cannot actively secrete enough hormones for the mother. The mother lacks exercise, her muscles lack elasticity, and the insufficient amount of oxytocin cannot initiate uterine contractions, resulting in delayed delivery, thus causing post-term pregnancy. In addition, overdue pregnancy is also related to the adrenal cortex function of the fetus, or if the mother is an older mother who is pregnant for the first time, it is also likely to cause overdue pregnancy. In addition, an imbalance in the ratio of estrogen to progesterone and some genetic factors can also lead to post-term pregnancy.

How to avoid not giving birth after the due date? Nowadays, more and more pregnant women are not giving birth after the due date, which is very worrying. So, for pregnant women who have not yet given birth, how can they avoid not giving birth after the due date?

Sometimes, if the baby is not born after the due date, it may be because the due date was calculated incorrectly. This is not impossible, so it is best to recalculate the due date to verify it.

If the due date is not calculated incorrectly, then it may be caused by other reasons. In fact, the main reason for not giving birth after the due date is that the pregnant woman does too little exercise during pregnancy, which leads to poor fetal activity and inability to secrete enough hormones. Therefore, if you want to prevent the birth after the due date, the most important thing is to exercise regularly. Don’t think that pregnant women with a big belly can avoid exercise, thinking that exercise will harm the fetus. This is a wrong idea. During pregnancy, pregnant women can do moderate exercise to enhance their cardiopulmonary function, reduce or eliminate back pain, and reduce the pain of childbirth and shorten the time. Therefore, it is necessary to do moderate exercise during pregnancy.

In addition, during pregnancy, you should insist on counting fetal movements and pay close attention to the condition of the fetus. In this way, if there is any problem, it will be discovered quickly and measures can be taken early to avoid serious consequences.
