And remember some of us have slow cookers and 42 weeks is the normal gestation for us. 5% of babies are born on their due date. So don't worry too much about a date but maybe a month or week? I had no idea of my LMP so tried to rely on u/s and both pregnancies have been way later. Matilda was born 17 days post EDD and Jovie was born 12 days post Edd.

Feathertop the significant risks is that the placenta will break down or calcify. BUT the normal gestation for humans is 38-42 weeks anywhere in between there. So going to 42 weeks could be normal for someone. If you trust your body you will be fine at the end I would rather have a spontaneous labour anyday than induction based on EDD's.
