I have to just commend you on how awesome this series and all of your videos are. They have been very valuable to me as a father/husband with a baby on the way as well as for OBGYN information when I was in Nursing school!

I hate how they're all like "any time now" "any day now". That's so phony. Just say hey we have no clue.

[@cowboyfan3729]

Does anyone know if the 2 Weeks they add on to the beginning (your considered 2 Weeks Pregnant before u ever conceive) is the reason for allowing the + 2 Weeks at the end..? (42 Weeks) when in all actuality, your not overdue, but on time (exactly 40 Weeks)? Anyone..?

[@aaliyahharris5056]

omg thanks for the info!! I didn't Kno about the placenta part..... but I'm 40 weeks and my Jr acting stubborn!!!

[@pichsovathyaroth7086]

I feel so worry now cos my period was 18/09/2015 and my due date based on count of my mid wife is 25/06/2015. Based on 1st and 2nd ultra at 4th and 5th month, it'd be on 30/06/2015. Today is 29/06/2015, but I still not have any sign for labour yet. I wonder why the overdue date happen to me if I'm carrying a baby girl. This's my 2nd pregnancy and I'm very concern about it. I'm afraid of C-section. Can u suggest me how to help the baby born before 42weeks passing and without performing c-section?

[@princessinaaya5344]

[@sarahthompson813]

I really enjoy your posts. Its very helpful! Im 40wks5days. Dilated to 3 had a membrane sweep (didn't work) ive been losing lot of mucus past two days. My midwife still wont induce me :( Any suggestions on why?

[@DarkEmerald1990]

I had my son at 42+6wks pregnant. He wouldn't come out, so we had to evict him from his warm comfy spot in my belly. Induction went well and I would prefer it again for my next pregnancy. Here's to hoping that happens.

[@cantecante2410]

DarkEmerald1990 how was induction like for you? Was it as quick in regards to labor pain? I'm alittle past 41 going to be induced tommorow and wanted some insight! Hope all is well ❤

how do you feel about delayed cord clamping?

[@MedTwice]

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) released an opinion last year that I agree with and follow. There is circulation that goes into the baby and away from the baby for a short time after delivery. That circulation is effected by gravity. If you put the baby at a higher position than the placenta, it will have a net loss of blood. If the baby is put at a lower position than the placenta, there will be a net gain of blood. If the baby is at a neutral position, there is no net difference. A loss of blood is not good for the baby because it can cause anemia. A net gain is not good as it can lead to jaundice. There is no advantage or disadvantage in a neutral position. If a patient wants delayed cord clamping, I hold the baby at an elevation equal to the placenta until they will allow me to clamp the cord. This is safe but of no real benefit. I prefer to clamp the cord immediately so I can hand the baby to the mother and start "skin to skin" care which has been shown to be beneficial. In a preterm baby there is an advantage to increasing the amount of blood in the baby. In the case of a preterm baby it is recommended to milk the cord to get more blood into the baby. The whole idea of delayed cord clamping has become a controversial issue for some reason. There are people that feel passionately that delayed cord clamping is of great benefit to the baby. There are quite a few studies that have been done and the ACOG opinion is base on a review of the medical literature.

Med Twice thank you very much that clears a lot up for me i appreciate it!! :)

I am 40 weeks and 5 days pregnant I am having contractions but I didn't lose my mucus plug nor do I have a bloody show. My contractions are irregular some of them are painful. When will I go into a 4 or 5 cm?

[@Whichofthefavors]

I am 41 weeks and having same issue as you... no mucus plug, no water broken but contractions that are making me nauseated and tired. When did you deliver and how?

[@cutep742]

Hi how are you? I delivered when my water broke. The next day I went into labor.

[@Whichofthefavors]

+Suz Mat Hi, I was induced at 41 days and 2 days with no dilation. Dilated 1 cm after 4 hours. Then dilated another 1 cm after 12 hours. I was having very bad contrctions and nurse gave me pain relief. I had very bad side effects from it and was very very drowsy. After that still at 2cm... my waters broke and nurse didnt pay attention even though i told her i feel wet. A Doc came and checked my cervix shortly after and while being veey drowsy she said my waters had broken and i should take plenty of rest now. Pain was so bad... pain relief did nothing but make me drowsy and nauseated and I was talking to myself. I took epidural and that was a good decision. I then delivered my girl adter 26 hours of being induced.

Now I am 40 week pragnand but never head my baby what the reason

[@tammyvazq4823]

Hi im confused on my due date because I got 3 ultrasound done and each said different due dates the first says 7/30/14 2nd 7/24/14 ans 3rd 7/19/14 but my ob wants to change my due date to 8/4/14 which Is confusing because my last period around 10/7/13 I dont want to be past due too long on my 2 previous pregnancy I got induce on both at 40 weeks and few day she still having trouble figuring it out but for now she left my due date on 7/30/14..

[@MedTwice]

Your due date from your last menstrual period is mid July. The first ultrasound would give you the moat accurate dating. This means your due date would be 7/30/14 and really should not change in my opinion.

[@tammyvazq4823]

Med Twice thank you so much thats what I thought I don't see no point on adding 5 more days on my due day thank you :)
