About 60 out of 100 women give birth on or before their given due date. In another 35 out of 100 women, contractions start on their own within two weeks of the due date. But it takes longer in about 5 out of 100 women. The reason why the baby is overdue is usually not known.
How early can a baby be born before due date?
A full-term pregnancy lasts between 39 weeks, 0 days and 40 weeks, 6 days. This is 1 week before your due date to 1 week after your due date. Every week of pregnancy counts for your baby's health. For example, your baby's brain and lungs are still developing in the last weeks of pregnancy.
Why are babies born before due date?
A premature birth is more likely to happen when a mother has a health problem — like diabetes — or does harmful things during her pregnancy, like smoke or drink. If she lives with a lot of stress, that also can make her baby be born too early. Many things can cause a baby to be born early or with health problems.
