Well, I'm being to think that 40 weeks is post dates, if the dating is good.

Successful induction today (at 41.5 wks by U/S). Pt's mother took more
labor notes than the nurse did, asked for (and was refused) a copy of
the nurse's labor notes, and videotaped everything, until the nurse made
her turn the camera off during the 4-minute shoulder dystocia. Actually,
I wish they hadn't made her turn the camera off. I collect videos of
the Gaskin maneuver and this mom was phenomenal. I have NEVER seen
anyone roll to all-fours as fast as she did. Absolutely incredible.
Grandma's comment after I saved her grandson's life (and shaved a few
months off of my own, I'm sure), was that he probably wouldn't have been
so big(10lb.5oz.) if we had induced her last Friday night. Yeah, he
might have only been a little 10lb 1oz. peanut.
