What if i will be overdue?

Question

Hi ladies im going to be 38 weeks tomorrow and still no sign of labor. Im so worried what if i will be over 40 weeks. What u think, what doctors will do? Plz share ur stories and thoughts

Answer

It's not a bad thing to go over 40 weeks unless there are medical concerns. If your pregnancy is normal and healthy then it's totally ok to go 41 or even 42 weeks in most cases. Some babies just need a little extra time to grow. 
My doctor said he would offer to induce me at 10 days past my estimated due date, but my son arrived on his own at 41 weeks.

Answer

You'll be fine. I was 3 days overdue and my son was only 7lbs4oz, and wonderfully healthy. The longer they are in there, the better, for the most part. They won't let you go more than two weeks over, and I highly doubt you would.Your "due date" is just a due window. An idea of when they will come. And baby will come around that time. Due dates and all that are just estimations. Nothing is set in stone.Just enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy, because they are wonderful and you will miss them. Lol.
