Prolonged pregnancy - what does this mean
Prolonged pregnancy occurs when a woman is pregnant for more than 42 weeks. this is usually due to a lack of labor-inducing hormones or a slow progression of the labor process. it can also be caused by a number of medical complications, such as an abnormally shaped uterus, a placenta that is not functioning correctly, or an immature cervix. in any case, prolonged pregnancy can lead to a number of health risks for both the mother and the baby.
What happens during the disease - prolonged pregnancy
Prolonged pregnancy is a condition that occurs when a woman's pregnancy lasts more than 42 weeks. it is caused by a disruption in the normal hormonal balance of the mother, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including underlying medical conditions, environmental triggers, and lifestyle choices. this disruption can cause the placenta to produce fewer hormones that help to regulate the timing of labor, leading to a prolonged pregnancy.

- Perform a biophysical profile to evaluate the health of the fetus.
- Order a blood test to measure the levels of hormone progesterone.
- Perform a pelvic exam to check the cervix and uterus.
- Order an amniocentesis to check for any infection or chromosomal abnormalities.
- Order a fetal fibronectin test to check for any signs of preterm labor.
- Order a fetal heart rate monitoring test to assess the health of the fetus.
- Order a Doppler ultrasound to measure the blood flow to the placenta.
