I am not really worried at this point the doctor said my due date would be the 28th my period says it would be march 8th and I know first babies on average come at 41 weeks so I am not even going to begin to worry about it till at least the next five to seven days pass I have confidence I will go into labor by then. I was wondering if anyone ever had to be induced and at what point doctors do this I have heard they don't even think about it till 42 weeks and after , I really don't want to go pst 41 weeks. ↓

It really depends on your doctor. Some doctors will wait until you at least 2 weeks over due while other may not let you go longer then 1 week. When I was pregnant with my son I was told that they would not think of inducing until I was at least 2 weeks. My sister on the other had was induced 1 week after her due date. I would talk to you OB and see when if the time would come he/she would induce. ↑
