A Woman Who Is 37 Weeks Pregnant Made Plans to Take

A woman who is 37 weeks pregnant made plans to take a seven-day hiking trip in the backcountry the following week. She expects to deliver her baby in the hospital after she returns from the trip. What is her doctor likely to tell her?

A) Thirty-seven weeks is considered a term pregnancy, meaning there is a significant risk that she will deliver her baby before or during her trip.
B) She should attempt to induce labor now. If she does not go into labor, she will be cleared for the trip.
C) She should consider an elective C-section at 37 weeks, because that represents an optimal, full-term pregnancy.
D) There should be no problem with the trip, as she is unlikely to deliver until 40 weeks
E) There should be no problem with the trip, as women typically deliver their babies at 42 weeks.
