Doctor, why did you disturb me?
It’s not unheard of for babies to be born later than their due dates, and although a reason for this is not yet known, it’s speculated that genetic predisposition can be a factor. Despite what many people believe, being born after the 40th week rarely harms the child.
That said, it’s perfectly normal for parents to be worried when their baby has been inside the mother’s womb for too long. In some instances, doctors decide that a C-section might be the best way to get the baby out. That seems to be the case for this little bundle of joy, though he doesn’t look too happy about being removed from his mother’s tummy.
