4. How to deal with going overdue...and why due dates are BS

Hellooo...another week, another episode! In this episode I talk about the accuracy of due dates (spoiler alert: not all that accurate) and give you my top tips for dealing with going overdue (which is pretty likely). The study I reference in the episode which looked at the accuracy of due dates from the scans of those who had had IVF was: Knight B. et al 2018: “Assessing the accuracy of ultrasound estimation of gestational age during routine antenatal care in in vitro fertilization (IVF) pregnancies” and you can read it here - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1742271X17751 If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you could spare 2 seconds to give it a 5 star rating. And if you're feeling generous, a quick review as well 😊 Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss an episode. I share loads more tips over on Instagram, come and join the community there - www.instagram.com/getbirthconfident And finally you can find out more about me and my hypnobirthing courses over on my website - www.getbirthconfident.com Next week I'll be covering the birth partner role with special guest Edd Moss aka my husband and twice birth partner.
