Thanks Jo... food for thought for sure. If they have an ultrasound I'll try to get an answer from the expert. Thanks for your interest. Lois

Lois, I seem to remember a photo copied picture we all got at uni in my Midwifery course that showed the foetal skull at 36 weeks, 40 weeks and 43 weeks, with the skull bones being closer and closer together as gestation went on. In the 43 week foetus there wasn't much room for the bones to overlap during birth, but in the 40 week foetus there was. Do you think there is a way of seeing the skull bones (ultrasound?) and using that at term to decide if the baby is really 'post-term' or not? Just a meandering thought....
