He is curled into the fetal position, and is likely head down in the pelvis, ready for delivery. He’s getting pretty big now, and waiting much longer may increase risks such as overly dry, cracked skin, or being overweight.

You are now considered overdue, and will likely be induced within the next week if you don’t go into labor on your own. Since your baby will continue to grow, and now has no more space, its important you see your doctor if you feel any changes, such as a reduction of movement from your baby, or increasingly painful contractions. There are several ways your doctor may induce labor, including with intravenous medication or rupturing the membranes of your amniotic sac, although if all else fails you may have a C-section to be sure your baby is safe and that you are not suffering any complications as well.
