Mums walk to me smiling. Midwife Sally I am pregnant for 43 weeks and I have reported since labor is still not setting in.

Sally.. Really, which midwife saw you and did not let them see you for admission and further management at 41 weeks.

She goes ahead and mentions a midwife’s name. I got confused but could not react.

Then I led her to the midwife. The midwife opens the folder and draws my attention to the date.

She was supposed to come on admission a week earlier. She refused and went home. Reported back and mentioned a colleague’s name.

She didn’t know we document everything we tell them

The point is your placenta will stop working at a point if your baby is not born. It can’t support your baby any more, especially after 42 weeks.

So at 41 weeks if the baby hasn’t arrived. You will be closely monitored and a possible intervention, either induction or cesarean section will be done to save the baby.

Women come with stillbirths due to delay.

Know your expected date of delivery(40 weeks) and don’t let it pass for more than two weeks.

At 41 weeks… You need to ask your doctor what next?

Also cooperate with your healthcare provider. Give accurate information.
