The option would be to stay pregnant forever, not a viable solution for the baby or mother. After 40 to 42 weeks, the placenta and umbilical cord become less effective and the baby would start loosing weight or even die, due to lack of nutrition and poor oxygen supply. The placenta will start separating from the uterine wall eventually, at that point the mother would start being at risk of hemorrhage or infection.
