About This Appointment You’re at the finish line! (That is, unless baby decides to stay snug and cozy inside.) As long as there’s plenty of amniotic fluid and both you and baby are doing well, your doctor may let you go to 41 or 42 weeks, but expect frequent monitoring and check-ups while you wait. To Know • You’ll do a urine test and get your blood pressure and weight checked. • Your doctor will listen to baby’s heartbeat. • Your doctor will feel and measure your belly. • Your doctor may check your cervix for signs of labor. • You may have a non-stress test and/or a biophysical profile. To Ask 1. Have I started dilating or effacing? Any other signs of labor? 2. What can I do to move things along now? 3. How many more days can I go before you induce? 4. Do I need to do any other tests now? 5. If I go past my due date, how frequently do you want to see me?
