Brief Answer:
Dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

Get a scan done to see for fetal well being, fetal weight and liquor volume.. If everything is normal you can wait till 41 weeks for spontaneous onset of labour pain..

If pain does not start by 41 weeks induction of labour with prostagladin gel or oxytocin can be done..

Is this your 1st pregnancy? Are you positive blood group? Did you have any complications in this pregnancy?

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts..Good day..
