If a baby is not born by 42 weeks of gestation, it is considered post-term, which may lead to increased risks for both the baby and the mother. Potential complications include decreased amniotic fluid, placental dysfunction, and increased likelihood of cesarean delivery. Healthcare providers typically monitor post-term pregnancies closely and may recommend induction of labor to reduce these risks. It’s important for expectant mothers to have regular check-ups to ensure the health of both themselves and their baby.
