Question: what are the risks of having a baby after 40 weeks?
Answer: 40 Weeks Pregnant With No Signs of Labor And stillbirth, though still rare, becomes a concern: At 40 weeks, the risk is 2 to 3 per 1,000 babies; at 42 weeks, it's 4 to 7 per 1,000. If labor hasn't started spontaneously, you'll probably be induced at 41 weeks—at the latest.
