weeks by week pregnancy - 40th and 41st weeks

A newborn weighs an average of just over 3 kilos (7 pounds) and measures about 1 meter 10 (20 inches).


There is still no absolute certainty as to when work will begin. While calculating the date of delivery is reliable, some women pregnancy is prolonged without the experts really do not understand why.


If the work does not start alone, most doctors induce labor if you exceed the expected date of delivery of one or two weeks.


There are still a few weeks before your pregnancy is considered prolonged.


If you lose your water (or even if you feel that flow occurred), call your doctor or midwife, but stay calm as it can take hours before your first contraction.


There are other common signs of inducing labor that the breakdown of water, you may notice in your underwear or bathing your mucus plug, that is to say the small amount of thick mucus that clogs the birth canal. It may be slightly blood-stained brown, pink or red. This is called "the expulsion of mucus plug." The work itself usually begins one or two days of the expulsion.


Contractions at regular intervals, but more and more frequently, are another sign.


Having sex does not trigger labor, but pro stag landing in semen and orgasm can stimulate contractions.


Nipple stimulation, which causes the secretion of oxidizing can induce labor, can also cause long contractions that cause stress to the baby. So do not indulge this practice at home.


The Castor oil is a strong laxative that can stimulate your bowels. There is no evidence that this oil helps to induce labor, but many women can attest to its unpleasant effects! Discuss the pros and cons with your doctor or midwife.


The safety and efficacy of herbal remedies from medicinal plants have not been proven. It is known that some of them are downright dangerous. Ask your doctor or midwife before making or taking anything to stimulate contractions of childbirth.


Pay close attention instead to the movements of your baby and immediately inform your caregiver (s) in case of decrease in activity level.
