Post-term Birth: Planning for an Overdue Baby

What is a Post-term Birth?

A post-term birth occurs when a baby is born after 42 weeks of gestation. Post-term pregnancies are closely monitored as there can be increased risks for both the baby and the birthing parent.

Planning for a Post-term Birth

Your post-term birth plan should include preferences for induction methods, monitoring, and any additional interventions that may be necessary if your pregnancy goes beyond 42 weeks. Discuss the potential need for a C-section or other medical interventions with your provider.
