What tests do they do after 40 weeks?
What kinds of tests do they do once you reach 40 weeks to determine if the baby is still thriving and the placenta is still working right? I don't want to be induced but I want to make sure it's safe to carry past 40 weeks should I go that far.

I have read that some doctors perform a NST. Which they basically hook you up to a monitor to check on the baby and they can also determine if you are having contractions. Its safe to go past 40 weeks. I went to 41 weeks with my daughter and she was induced and came out a big healthy baby. My doctors never did an NST or any special testing.
