Which Baby is Born Late?

Published in Pregnancy 1 min read

A baby is considered late if they are born after 42 weeks of pregnancy.

This is because the average pregnancy lasts around 40 weeks, with a range of 38 to 42 weeks.

Babies born after 42 weeks are considered "post-term" and may be at a higher risk of complications.

However, it's important to note that many babies born after 42 weeks are perfectly healthy.

If you have any concerns about your baby's due date, it's always best to talk to your doctor.
