A member asked:

40 weeks pregnant & 2days with no symptoms of labor could it mean i will have to get induced or could labor start all of a sudden?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Any moment now...: If truly 40 weeks and 2 days, labor will happen when it happens, which is any day or any moment now. Due dates are just estimates, and most babies are not born on their due dates but instead are born before or after their due dates. That's the way life is. Otherwise, the Ob-Gyn doctor may induce labor or do a C-section.
