Your midwife or doctor will discuss the options and choices about what happens if your pregnancy lasts longer than 41 weeks. This will include being offered an Induction of Labour and option to discuss alternatives.
Your midwife should:
- Ask you about your your general health and wellbeing and if there are any concerns you wish to discuss
- Discuss your mood, fetal movements, when to attend Maternity Triage
- Use a tape measure to measure the size of your uterus and plot this on your customised growth chart.
- Measure your blood pressure and test your urine for protein.
- Complete your CO monitoring
- Ensure you have follow up appointments or referrals made.
