Worried with no sign of baby coming out...

Currently 38 to 39 weeks pregnant, but there is still no signs of baby coming out... Gynaecologist says that by the 40 weeks if there is still no signs they will do a scan for water bag water level. And 41 week will induce, should i be worried? Sorry first time mummy here...

Hi mama, Please don’t worry. The EDD is a mere guesstimate. On the average, most first time mamas birth at week 41.3 weeks. We cannot take an actual look at baby from the inside out and scans can be inaccurate so baby might not be ready to come out. There’s a lot of research on this and since birth is a physiological process, sometimes we need to let nature take its course. Having said this, I can understand if you’re feeling anxious and excited to meet baby at the same time. Take the opportunity to have some ME time or spend good quality couple time with your spouse before the arrival of baby. Being relaxed helps loosen the ligaments in the body which help during birth :)
