Several factors can influence gestational limits, including:
Medical Guidelines: Medical organizations may set guidelines based on the safety and efficacy of procedures at various stages of pregnancy. Legal Restrictions: Laws vary by country and state, often influenced by political and social factors. Fetal Viability: The point at which a fetus can survive outside the womb, generally around 24 weeks, can influence these limits. Maternal Health: The health and well-being of the pregnant person can necessitate different gestational limits for medical procedures.
