Pregnancy due dates can lead to a feeling of pressure for mother's that they need to go into labour by a certain point, otherwise there will be problems. Running a pregnancy on a schedule can lead to unnecessary stress and anxiety for pregnant women, which can lead to a decrease in the hormone oxytocin, and interfere with the onset of labour. I also discuss the risks of stillbirth in relation to gestational age.
