Post dates: ACOG says women with post-term (42 weeks)gestations who have unfavorable cervices can either undergo labor induction or be managed expectantly. Generally, an initial c-section is not considered until the pregnancy is post dates, and induction for a vaginal birth as been attempted and failed.
