A member asked:
Hello, i am 39 weeks and 1 day pregnant, and i don't have any sing of labor. is there any thing that might help me? the amniotic fluid index is 9

Consider induction: Labor can come on suddenly without warning signs; that is OK/normal. An amniotic fluid index greater than 8 is considered normal. If you want to go into labor, talk to your provider about induction. Many Obs will induce labor at 39-40 weeks if your cervix is ripe. If this is your first baby, its better to wait until at least 40 weeks. Best wishes!
