[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would rather deprive my baby of some potential brain development than give birth to a stillborn baby or get preeclampsia by continuing a pregnancy for longer than is healthy. There are risks to mom and baby to gestation past 40 weeks and that has to factor into decision making. This article is not taking into account all those health risks, it’s only looking at one potential benefit and the science seems fuzzy. [/quote]
Well, no one anywhere in this thread is advocating going past 40 weeks.

And yes, these "articles" aka research papers, are only looking at one outcome (not a "potential" benefit, but a benefit confirmed through data analysis). That is generally how scientific studies work.

With her second child she's pretty unlikely to get pre-eclampsia. Or suffer a stillbirth. Going to such lengths to avoid those outcomes is like people who avoid public gatherings after a mass shooting, even though the actual risk of that happening to you is miniscule. So, that might be your risk calculus, but it's not universal.[/quote]
