What Brings on Labour?
Pregnancy FAQs
Labour for a lot of women starts spontaneously, anywhere between 38 – 42 weeks of pregnancy. This means it’s likely your labour will only begin when both your body and your baby are ready, a bit of a waiting game I’m afraid. If labour doesn’t start on its own, or there are complications, you may be induced by medical intervention, or a caesarean section will be performed.
