A member asked:

I'm 39 weeks pregnant and baby is measuring big for dates will my midwife book me for induction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds reasonable: Ideal time to deliver is 39-40 weeks for the baby, but what is the estimated fetal weight? It depends how large the baby is in relation to u, it is a good sign if if the head is down in the vagina if it is your 1st baby, a bad sign if it is not and make sure the midwife has good doctor backup as you may end up with a c-section, as the song goes if it does not fit do not force it.
