A member asked:

If the baby is in the birth canal about how much longer do i have to go?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Michelle Jones singer answered

Specializes in Gynecology

How many weeks along: Most doctors allow the pregnancy to continue untill 41-42 weeks before inducing labor. Just because the baby is in the canal does not mean one can predict how much longer the pregnancy will last
