Hi all I’m 40 weeks tomorrow with my 3rd baby and worried that she hasn’t came yet??? (I’m in uk)

Question

My other 2 children came before there due date I’m just worried incase there are risks for this or Complications ???
I read that there is a higher risk of being still born  after this

Answer

So ur not actually due until tomorrow. It’s fine unless u have any specific cause for concern in which case see ur midwife.
Pregnancy can get up to 42 weeks and it’s at that point the risks increase which is why u wouldn’t be allowed to go beyond 42 weeks. 
This is a different pregnancy and a different baby. U can’t compare to ur previous two.

Answer

My youngest came at 41+6, induced at 41+4. 
Here the due date is set at 40+3, so you are well within normal.

Answer

My best friend had early pregnancies with her first two children and her third cam a week and half late. Perfectly fine and healthy. She was just comfortable. Think positive thoughts mama.

Answer

I'd ask to be induced if I was you 4 people I know this year along went over by 2 days and had stillborns, pregnancy was all fine through out no complications

Answer

Not all doctors wait 10 days before talking induction.  But they won’t let you know an unsafe amount over either.  I never progressed on my own with my first, he was born totally healthy without any complications at 41+3.   This time I’m being induced at 39 weeks (electively)

Answer

40 weeks is the normal gestation. Your other babies came early. This baby can go into 41 weeks. Doctors wait ten days after ur due date before they start talking induction
