A member asked:
When does postterm start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At 40w3d.: Three days after your due date the risk of death in utero is greater than the risk of death in the hursery, thereby providing a functional definition of postterm pregnancy. Most studies find that delivery after 39-40 weeks is perilous for stillbirth.
