41 weeks pregnant. Is there a chance I can still go to labor on my own?

Question

I'm just turned 41 weeks and a first time mom. I was told when I went for an ultrasound and non stress test that if I don't deliver by Monday I would have to be induced. My doctor and I haven't discussed this yet so I won't see her until Wed. I'm really anxious.

Answer

No baby ever stayed in forever lol. Pregnancy is technically 42 weeks . Keep that in mind!

Answer

Yes! 41+1 is most common for first time moms

Answer

I went in labor at exactly 41 weeks. I was 1 cm from 37 weeks till 41 weeks. At 41 weeks I went from 1 cm to 6 cm in less than an hour.

Answer

Absolutely! A lot of woman are supposed to get induced but end up going into labor on their own! Good luck girl!

Answer

I had my daughter at 42 weeks I was scheduled to arrive to be induced at 6am. I went in at 4 and the nurses thought I just was excited and showed up really early. My son was the same way I think some times just having it set knowing thrrr is an end date allows you to relax

Answer

I naturally went into labour at 41 weeks 1 day with my son. Was supposed to see my doctor about being induced the next day. My little man decided nope and came when he was ready.

Answer

I went into labor at exactly 42 weeks the day before I was scheduled for induction. I ended up having to take pitching because I was dilating so slowly. But my water broke on its own and I had my baby on the day I was scheduled for induction.

Answer

My dad was almost a whole month late (before induction was used so nonchalantly). Babies come when they're ready, but feel free to help it along! My mom had to drink castor oil with my 2nd brother
