Pregnant women often ask when exactly should they go to the hospital? The most common statement is to pack your bags and go to the hospital on the day of your due date! In fact, the due date is only a predicted time, not the actual time of birth. The baby may be born 2 weeks before or after the due date. If no abnormalities are found during the prenatal checkup, there is no need to be hospitalized on the day of the due date. If you are 1 week past your due date and there is no sign of labor, you wish to be hospitalized to induce labor. Because the placenta will be hypoplastic after the overdue date, the possibility of fetal hypoxia will increase, and the fetal skull will harden, so the chance of deformation during labor will decrease, and the chance of not being able to deliver naturally through the vagina will increase.
