Its very rare babies come on the due date. Due dates are just estimated and can be off by 2 or more weeks. If there is no medical reason for an induction most docs will let you go until 41-42 weeks.

I havent had my baby yet but iv talked to my ob about it and he said it all depends on what your body is doing. sometimes you can go on for about 2 weeks befor being enduced. Also when u turn 9 months they may enduce u on the spot depending on the water level

Idk about your 1st ? .... But it depends on where you live here in cali most drs wont allow you to go over 41 wks and in oklahoma they let my friend go 3 weeks over.... Almost had to csection bcuz baby pooed in the womb but it really depends

If there is no medical reason to induce you have to be atleast 39 weeks and not a minute before lol literaly. I just turned 39 weeks as of 53 minutes ago and hopefully get induced tomorrow

I know a lot of people who had their babies on their due date (1st) or before. It's different with every pregnancy and every baby, as they are all different.
