there isn't much you can do, talk to the doctor about inducing you he'll come when he wants to...just a note, don't eat spicy food because you go to the bathroom when you are having the baby and that's really bad for the doctor to clean up, you never know you could go and have one little cramp and have a baby. Depends on your pain tolerance and what you consider a cramp etc.

40 weeks is not an exact date...That is why they call it edc. (Estimated date of confinement.) It is estimated based on your 1st day of your last period. Your doctor will not let you go past an unsafe point. Some people normally go two weeks overdue. Relax for now...you need the rest...you will be very busy soon.

Yes, this is typical. Especially for first babies. Is it your 1st?
Your due date is ESTIMATED.
It is not a magic number.
Anywhere from 38-42 weeks is considered normal for human gestation.
Does your Dr. think the baby or your health is in danger? NO? Then, it will be over soon enough & you will get to finally lay eyes on your little one.
The last month is the hardest.

Go out for a spicy pizza and then a ride on a rough road, worked for my first, and if not you did at least have a good time out.

a watched pot never boils, remember. do your thing and be prepared but do not think about it. trust me, the baby will come when he is ready to make an entrance. if the doctor is concerned he or she will take action.

Try taking walks. Walking enduces labor.

well you can get induced but dont wait to long because you don't want to deliver a large baby unless your having a sesection so call your doctor and ask if you can get induced
good luck with your baby
