Post-term pregnancy is when a pregnant woman has been pregnant for more than 40 weeks without any signs of labor. Post-term pregnancy may seem normal, but in reality it can have a huge impact on the health of the fetus.

Oxytocin is a drug used in obstetrics, which has the effect of causing uterine contractions both in frequency and intensity. Oxytocin is the international common name for the injection form of the drug, with a content of 1 ml of 5 IU and 10 IU.

In the last weeks of pregnancy, mothers always look forward to the birth of their baby every day, but there are some cases where the baby is past the due date and still shows no signs of labor. This situation can be dangerous for the fetus and the mother, so what should a pregnant woman do when the baby is past the due date?

normal pregnancy lasts an average of 280 days (about 40 weeks) from the first day of your last menstrual period. However, it is common for the due date to change, and some ultrasounds can be as much as 2 weeks off from the actual due date. Very few women actually give birth on their due date.

According to statistics, only 5% of women give birth on the due date as prescribed by the doctor and many first-time mothers have to wait past the due date to welcome their newborn. There are many cases of 40 weeks of pregnancy with no signs of labor, making mothers restless.

During pregnancy, if the baby's due date has arrived but there are still no symptoms or signs of labor, the pregnant woman needs to be closely monitored by obstetricians to have timely interventions to support the baby's birth.

The due date is the date the doctor predicts the baby will be born, based on the first day of the mother's last menstrual period. A pregnancy that goes past its due date can lead to serious health problems for the fetus.
