Many women reach the end of their pregnancy with relief as they give birth to their baby. That part of the journey is over and they can start the next phase.
Unfortunately there are some women who reach their expected due date and they still have not begun labor. Their precious baby seems content with staying inside and not making an appearance.  You’ve set up the baby’s room, you’ve packed the bags and you’re ready to start bonding and making those first memories. Many parents begin to worry and wonder when the wait will be over. Eight to 9 months can seem like a very long time to wait. If you have gone beyond your 39th week of pregnancy then you will most likely be talking to your doctor, or midwife about the possibilities of inducing labor.
