Your amniotic fluid, once clear, is now pale and milky from your baby's shedding vernix caseosa . The outer layers of skin are also sloughing off as new skin forms underneath. If you've been worrying that this scenario will happen to you, you can stop. Membranes rupture unexpectedly in less than 15 percent of pregnancies, and when it does happen, the baby's head tends to act like a cork at the opening of the uterus, thus keeping the fluids from gushing out. Though your body will produce more amniotic fluid until the baby is born, your doctor may decide to induce labor to reduce the risk of infection.
Most doctors wait another one to two weeks before considering a pregnancy overdue.
These fetal development pages are designed to give a general idea of how a fetus grows in the womb. I am at the end of my 40 weeks if I as to be induced. I don't even wont to think of being preg. If anyone happens to know please pop me a email. But suggesting inducing labor maybe asking for trouble.
