My SIL is due Oct 2nd. I am going out of town Oct 8-11. We are all excited because this is the first niece/nephew/grandchild in either one of our families. She and I were talking and I said i hope she has her baby before I go out of town and she said there is no way they would let her carry the baby a week late. I admit I am a total newb when it comes to this area of pregnancy. How long past due dates do doctors typically let women go before inducing/c-sections? Whenever she has the baby is fine with me, I am not trying to rush her, but I will be pretty bummed if I am out of town and miss it!
Re: A pregnancy-newb question (painless, I promise)
Bc of that, for me, I never would have been permitted to just wait it out.
Why do you say dumb things? Did anyone say that my trip (which is not a vacation, it's business, FYI) had anything to do with this? No. I am merely saying what she said, and that was that she doubts they will let her go a week past her due date. I did not know if that's standard procedure or not. Read before you snark. Thanks.

Holy over reaction! GM was explaining how the doctor would view things. Chill.
OP I hear you, my SIL is due 2 days after DH and I go away, first baby in the family so we are all keeping fingers crossed for a few days early, SIL included!!
OP, I get your excitement and it's sweet you are so excited but 1. Deliveries and recoveries don't always go well. I did not allow any visitors bc my recovery was horrible. I made most people wait 2 weeks. 2. Meeting the baby a day or 2 after being born won't kill anyone.
