At what stage should I discuss induction if the baby is overdue?

Most pregnancies last 37 to 42 weeks - if a pregnancy lasts more than 42 weeks, it is called post-term. If you have not given birth by 42 weeks, there are greater health risks for you and baby.The risks of stillbirth are higher. Also, there might be complications such as placental problems, low amniotic fluid, and a pinched umbilical cord. This could lessen the amount of oxygen and nutrients that the baby gets from you.
