Patient: Hello, Dear Dr. Yang! My wife has been pregnant for 288 days until today (February 28th) and her due date is February 20th. Now she is 8 days past her due date, so we are quite anxious. After checking in the hospital, the doctor said that the fetal heartbeat and fetal movement are normal, and the position of the fetus is very positive, which is more suitable for a normal delivery, but the amniotic fluid was 70 (the doctor said that it was on the low side) when she checked it 7 days ago, and then she went to the hospital for 3 consecutive days of oxygen, and then the test was 85 (the doctor said that it is still on the low side) when she checked it 3 days ago, may I know if we need to hospitalize and give a hypospray injection in such a situation? May I know if we need to be hospitalized for labor injection in this case? Or do we need to have a c-section? I am looking forward to your answer! Thank you! Whether menstruation is regular or not: age of first menstruation: days of each menstrual period: average number of days of menstrual cycle: menstrual volume, color, abdominal pain: date and condition of the last menstruation: age of marriage: number of pregnancies: number of miscarriages: number of births: Mianyang City People’s Hospital Obstetrics and Gynaecology Department, Jing Yanhui: Let me answer your question: the expected date of delivery to reach or more than 42 w is called the overdue, the main effect is that the amniotic fluid is reduced, the fetus is chronically short of oxygen, and the fetus is in intrauterine distress, and the fetus has to be taken to hospital. The main effect is the decrease of amniotic fluid, fetal chronic hypoxia, fetal intrauterine distress, and finally lead to fetal death. So you should be hospitalized. If you are able to have a trial of labor, or if not, you can opt for surgery, the risk of waiting is too high. Wish you a healthy baby soonPatient: Thank you very much for your answer. From your answer we know what can be done now. Mianyang City People’s Hospital Obstetrics Jing Yanhui: This is what I should do.
