Post term delivery...
Today we admitted a 3 week post- term newborn. Mother was given date of delivery in first week of March, but she did not have labour pains so that family ignored the time period and delivered today in a critical state.
Nature has fixed the time period of 280 days or 9 months and 7 days from last date of menstruation.
So family should contact the doctor at right date and proceed according to Doctor's advice. This should be so, as after a certain period liquor that's the amniotic fluid starts decreasing which jeopardises the blood supply to the large baby making it prone for complications. Post-term cases are more common in the first pregnancy.
Please do not follow what YOU feel is right, follow the Doctor...
