A member asked:

Hallo,i am pregnant. my due date was 12 sept 2017. was asking is it safe for me to induce?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: According to your dates, you are now about 42 weeks. Induction at this point is usually warranted because of the aging process of the placenta and a reduced overall bloodflow for the unborn child and risk of stillbirth beyond this date. You need to talk with your obstetrician to review your personal risks.
