hello friends I'm dr. Shanta Kumari
Assyrian gynecologist laparoscopic
surgeon from a show the hospital so
much' go to hyderabad I am the chairman
of the I see OG foxy foxy is the
Federation of Fox gigantic societies of
India with 34 thousand members today's
question is how many weeks is it for
safe delivery well friends usually the
pregnancy is up to 40 weeks so 38 weeks
to 42 weeks is usually called term and
we calculate an expected date of
delivery which is usually at the 40th
week so the usual safe time to deliver
is around the expected date of delivery
which is the 40th week but many women
there are only four percent of women who
deliver on their a didi most of the
women may deliver any time between 38
weeks to 40 weeks plus few days here and
there but you may sometimes set into
labor even at 37 weeks or early 38 weeks
so as soon as you start feeling the
symptoms of her labor you have to report
your doctor sometimes you may have some
pains or some symptoms of labor even
before 37 weeks then it could be a
preterm labor where you will have to
report to your doctors our Indian
scenario
our women are safer when they deliver
per 40 weeks and we like to actually
take care of the women see that the
pregnancy is monitored beyond 40 weeks
if you want to continue without any no
complications and uncomplicated
pregnancy has to continue under
surveillance where the fetal heart has
to be monitored by an CTG and ultrasound
has to be done so to consider if the
pregnancy is safe for the woman to
continue beyond 40 weeks to 41 weeks but
usually beyond that we don't let a
pregnancy to continue because we have
worried about the fetal morbidity and
mortality so we would like to see that
the women deliver by that time in a safe
manner for the well-being of the baby
