My mother in law carried my husband almost 20 days past her EDD (estimated due date). However, this is extremely unusual these days. Most doctors will not allow you to go more than 10 days past your EDD because it makes things difficult for the mother and the baby due to limited space. At this point you will be admitted into the hospital for an induction. This usually involves Pitocin which will stimulate uterine contractions. It isn't bad, but once you get rolling, you may want to consider and Epidural. I had an induction on my first pregnancy and it wasn't nearly as bad as I expected. Good luck!

I've heard of 44 weekers before. Babies are considered postmature after 43 weeks gestation.
