[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The biggest risk in going past 40 weeks is that the placenta can calcify and stop providing nutrients to your baby. You might not know this has happened until it's too late. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to freak you out - it was a long road for DW and me to have our two and we unfortunately weighed risks like this constantly until the babies were both here.[/quote] I hear you on this but it's so hard to get statistically valid info on risks while controlling for level of care. I've seen statistics about increasing risks,etc, but none that involve verification of a healthy placenta via ultrasound at 40 weeks, 41 weeks, etc. Or maybe I just haven't find those? [/quote]
