Best Answer

a After 40 weeks of last menstrual period (L.M.P. ) amniotic fluid starts reducing rapidly and and it becomes more and more risky for both mother and baby. So usually your Gynecologist will put Oxytocin drip and induce delivery or go for operation. But it can last for 42 weeks and in such case operative delivery has to be conducted.
