statistics of expectant monitoring

[takingforeverkid]

Hi, does anybody know where can I find numbers for risks of going over 42 weeks?
Thanks.

Sorry I don't, but would love to know too. My mw did say that there aren't many stats about as no one goes too far over 42 weeks and obviously they don't do studies on humans. In France I don't think they class you as overdue until you are over 42 weeks so there might be some stats about somewhere.

How far over are you? I am 8 days ..

some studies and statistics included in this article www.aafp.org/afp/2005/0515/p1935.html

Also NICE guideline on induction includes studies
