This isn't going out to anyone in particular, but I'm just wondering.....why is it so bad to actually go all the way to full term (40 weeks)?? Unless there is a medical reason, why is it such a bad thing to be patient and wait the whole 40 weeks? I had mine only 3 days shy of 40 weeks, but why are we so impatient? The number 40 is there for a reason, unless they decide to come early. I mean you're not gonna die if you go the whole 40 weeks. Just saying. No reason to comment and start something. Just had to say it.
