A newborn's head is often temporarily misshapen from the birth canal, and may be covered with vernix and blood. Your baby's skin may also have skin discolorations, dry patches, and rashes, all of which are completely normal. |

Don't worry if your baby still doesn't feel like coming out yet. The average first-time mother will often go more than four days past the due date.

If you do not go into labor this week, your doctor may recommend a nonstress test, where your baby's heart rate and movement are monitored to determine if your baby is receiving adequate oxygen and that the nervous system is responding. |

Whatever happens, do yourself and your baby a favor and try to relax. Remember you're not actually "post-due" until you are into the 43rd week. |
