Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After the due date has passed, a complete evaluation of the fetus is done by Bio physical profile which is repeated after every three days. If there is any impending fetal compromise detected then pains are induced with medicines.
You need to get a Biophysical profile done immediately to know about your fetal well being.
Not having pains after due date does not indicate any specific abnormality related to mother or fetus.
The weight calculated on an ultrasound is only an approximate weight. You can get the weight assessed again by an ultrasound scan to know the progress your baby has made.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Biophysical profile is a test which involves non stress test and an ultrasound scan to assess amount of liquor, fetal movements and fetal breathing. The final score indicates the well being of fetus.
In case the score is low it indicates that fetal blood circulation and respiration are compromised and an immediate delivery is required.
Impending fetal compromise means the likelihood of fetus being in danger- due to lack of oxygen or blood supply after the due date is over.
Hope my answer is helpful.
