My due date has already passed, and I'm starting to get really anxious and impatient. The baby hasn't arrived yet. What steps are usually taken or what can I expect to happen after the due date of pregnancy?
Please monitor your baby's kicks very closely now that the due date has passed. If you feel even slightly less movement or have any cramping, please contact your doctor immediately, we cannot take any risks at this stage.
You can try light walking or eating some dates to help naturally induce labor. However, please watch out for any leakage of fluid, bleeding, or reduced baby movements and rush to the hospital immediately if you notice them.
I went 5 days past my due date and was crying constantly thinking something was wrong! But my doctor reassured me it's totally normal for first-time moms, and my baby arrived completely fine on day 6.
My MIL made me drink warm milk with a spoon of ghee when my due date passed to help with labor. But we still visited the hospital the very next day just to be safe.
