41 Weeks Pregnant: Signs & Symptoms (2024)

You’ve finally made it to the end of your pregnancy! By the time you start nearing your “due date”, it may feel like time is crawling.

Around 37-42 weeks of pregnancy is when most people are “over” being pregnant and they’re ready to get that baby out!

Your “due date” is the day you turn 40 weeks pregnant. We use quotations around “due date” just because it’s pretty rare that babies actually come out on this day. Since there’s no possible way to know the date of conception (unless you do IVF), a due date is really just a pretty good estimation. Most pregnant folks go into labor somewhere between 38 and 42 weeks of pregnancy.

Cervical Effacement: What is it and how to measure (2024)

If you are someone who has used a “fertility awareness” method or “natural family planning/NFP” to either prevent a pregnancy or try to conceive (TTC), you may be familiar with your cervix.

Tracking your cervical position, texture, and cervical mucus can give you some insight about when you’re in the fertile window of your cycle. These cervical changes, along with some other subtle bodily changes, can point to signs and symptoms of ovulation.

Knowing what your cervix is doing is not only helpful when you’re trying to conceive, but it also provides valuable information during pregnancy, labor, and birth.
