Pregnancy can last anywhere between 37 and 42 weeks.

I consider 42w+ to be overdue.

40+ is post dates.
42+ is post term.

39+6 is definitely not overdue!

Depends who you ask. I don't consider anyone overdue until they get past 42w!

I considered myself as 5 days overdue with dd1 as she arrived 5 days past my due date.
