No signs of labour at 40th week
Hello Doctor,
I am 39 weeks 4 days today but still no signs of labour. My Edd is on 20th May.
I had done an ultrasound at 38 weeks 3 days and it shows that my baby is fully matured and weighs around 3.5 kg. Please find the attached report. My gynaec is suggesting to go for elective cs on 19th.
Please check the report and advise what is to be done? And how many days after Edd can I wait for natural labour to occur?
Thanks in advance!!

Usually we wait till EDD. After that check for possible induction. This is in general.
It is best to go with your doctor
