Description:
Someone has arbitrarily decided baby has to come out
Baby is not ready, hence you are not naturally in labour
Scheduling birthing is potentially dangerous for you both
First babies are usually 10 days 40 weeks – yet 41 weeks is set as the normal term that France dictates for ‘dueness’.
Totally ignores all individual circumstances.
Why:
Occasionally there is actually a medical necessity.
Being ‘over dates’ is arguably a case for more maternal rest and resources.
Also checking the fetal position – is OP the reason no labour starting??
Solution:
Research the issue – baby’s lungs need to be ready to breathe

Adequate pregnancy care means you & baby are not in danger
Trust your body’s wisdom as from now on as a mum you will need to.
