How far over your due date will docs let you go before they make you do a c section? I'm asking this for one of my friends, she was induced 24 hours ago & still hasn't made any progress. she's 41 weeks 1 day.

I'm a labor and delivery nurse, and I've had women have 3 day inductions. As long as baby and mom are ok, no reason to jump the gun. some women need more time to actually get into true active labor than others.

@kattastrophe oh okay. I told her she needs to stop worrying about having a scar & just have the csection lol

I mean, the biggest risk is baby being too large, maybe meconium in the water or something. otherwise, as long as they're monitoring heartrate it should fine @gemini_610

@jaycemommy I was induced too, but I was 38 weeks. the induction part isn't too bad, contractions are the worst part. mine felt like my hips were going to break with each contraction I had & they were off the charts. I could handle that pain tho, but I couldn't handle getting the iv stuck in my hand lol I cried like a baby when they did that.

@gabrielmom21 @kattastrophe I've heard that its different when you're already a week over the due date & that going too far over can risk the baby dying. She was induced over 24 hours ago & is still only 1 cm.

I never got induced or took meds, and I was in labor 36 hours. they would've let me keep going longer for sure. I was 39 weeks though
