doctors here want to wait for 41weeks, still concerned
Brief Answer:
As below
Detailed Answer:
Well, if the doctors want to wait, there must be a reason.
If you can get her obstetric records, I can go through them.
They would only wait if she is stable and the baby is fine.
Do not worry.
Where is she right now?
