When do I talk to the doctor about inducing my baby

If a pregnancy is post-term, that is, you’ve reached 42 weeks or your health or your baby’s is at risk, your doctor may determine that it’s time to start labour contractions using medications or other methods. My friend was a week overdue and thought that she was going to be pregnant forever but since her pregnancy was a healthy one, she had to wait another week before induction could begin (it's actually a Swedish medical law). She gave birth successfully, with no complications.
