Tip of the Week

Though nobody wants to be pregnant for 42 weeks, it is fairly common. Resist the temptation to induce labor just to get it over with. Monitor the baby´s condition, but as long as the baby and placenta are doing well, have faith that your baby will come in its own time. Too many women have induced only to find that their baby wasn´t quite ready to be born and, therefore, must struggle harder than necessary to make the transition to life outside the womb.
