My sister-in-law was due on the 24th but the baby hasn't come yet... Should I get the plunger?

Yes it’s usually safe anywhere from two weeks before to two weeks after

Google says "First babies are less likely to be “on time” at 39 weeks, and more likely to be a little late, between 41 and 43 weeks."

Aw heck, let's just post a birth curve!

I was two weeks late. I must have known what a mistake being born into this cold hard world would be.

It's not uncommon for some babies to be born late. I was expected to arrive in July but waited until August to put in my appearance outside of the womb.

These are estimates. She'll be fine.

Common! Yes…

We had big 'uns. They likely miscalculated the due date like us. We knew for certain one conception date.

It is also not too unusual to go a little longer.

Safe for a little bit but they'll usually induce you at 43 weeks.

Ask her gynaec. Each case is different.

My last niece went 10 days past due time. It's fine.

plunger: no
hot sauce: yes
