Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion if both mother and fetus are good with no complications the pregnancy can be continued upto 41 weeks for spontaneous pains.Because induction might be associated with failure and increase in caesarian section rate.So relax and wait for spontaneous pains.If still no pains even after 41 weeks then induction is must.Lie in left lateral position.Check for fetal movements.
