Need opinion asap.

Hi mummies, I’m officially 40 weeks today. Today is my EDD. Just wanna ask for opinion - should I head down to the hospital for a check? Cos my last appt with the hospital was on 7th october and up to date there wasn’t any appt for me. So for over a month I have no updates of baby’s growth or well-being. I called the hospital ytd, they said to come down if I’m feeling pain etc. There’s on & off pain which is tolerable. Probably I’m just anxious.#advicepls

My gynae scheduled a weekly session when I hit 39 weeks which included a session on my EDD. (We didn’t meet because I delivered 3 days before my EDD). She advised that being 1 week late ie beyond 40 weeks is still OK but wouldn’t recommend any longer. For a peace of mind, you can always go to the delivery suite (if your hosp is KKH) and they can do a check for you but yes they will charge about $160 for monitoring you there. What happened to me was, I thought I had Braxton Hicks but the next day, I started spotting (brown stains). I went to delivery suite and they found I was 1cm dilated. I decided to just monitor myself at home and when contractions started to get consistent and particularly less than 5 mins apart, I got myself admitted.
