38 weeks still working

Hi mummies, issit normal that there's still no signs of labour yet at 38 weeks? And I am still working, I'm only starting my ML on week 39; is it safe to do so? I'm so worried... I've been walking a lot and hope that does not trigger anything. #pleasehelp #advicepls #firstmom #firstbaby #firsttimemom #FTM

It is normal. I do have work colleagues that only start their ML once they go in labour. For first time mum it would 99% be late to deliver. Either 39 weeks or latest 41 weeks (subject to individual) It won't trigger your body unless you had your last cervix check (few cm opened), amniotic fluid leaking (unknowingly), signs of mild contractions,etc.

Maybe im wrong because i never gave birth before and this is usually the "sta
