I'm on a role tonight with all the topics!! Trying to keep you ladies busy!! Laughing

how far do they allow you to go overdue where you live? In my county in iowa they allow you to go 2 wks. We are the only county in iowa that does this. A friend of mine nearly lost her baby because of this, they decided to give her an ultrasound to make sure things were going good and the found her baby was about 2-3 hrs from death. He only weighed 3lbs. And he was nearly 2 wks. Over due. It was because her amniotic fluid had a slow leak and she didn't know. She ended up in an emergency c-section, which was totally preventable.

No she never sued. I'm not sure if she ever thought about it. She was just happy her baby lived!
