Question

My wife, at 41 weeks, went to the doctor for a post-term check-up. The doctor performed an internal examination and said there is no dilation at all, only about a finger or less, and also stripping cannot be performed. Is there a concern for prohibition?

Answer

Hello,

There is no concern of prohibition. Not because of the dilation, which is very small, nor because of the examination.

Wishing you an easy and healthy delivery.
