Norwegian term or phrase: Moren var alvorlig syk og hun hadde TERMIN dagen etter

Dette gjelder en barnemishandlingssak. Moren hadde fødet barnet sitt bare 3 dager tidligere. Hva er denne terminen som det snakkes om?

The mother was seriously ill, and her pregnacy due date was the next day

Explanation:
Termin as I'm sure you know means due date of delivery or expected date of delivery (EDD as it's often written in the notes).
