Doctors recommend that in cases where pregnant women live in remote areas, where roads are difficult to travel, and are far from medical facilities, when the due date arrives, they should go to a medical facility to wait for delivery to be examined, diagnosed, and treated appropriately by a doctor to avoid going into labor but not being able to get to the medical facility in time.
