How likely is it that I will go into labor on my due date?

Question

Accepted Answer

You are most likely to have your baby in your 39th week of pregnancy: close to 30 percent of babies are born in this week. The next most common week is week 38 (18 percent), followed by the 40th week (17 percent). In addition to this, the data tells us that if you get to your due date without a baby, there is a 60% chance you’ll have the baby in the next seven days. If you haven’t had the baby by 41 weeks, there is about a 60% chance you’ll go into labor spontaneously. At 42 weeks, the vast majority of doctors will induce labor.
