[quote=Anonymous]I just had a long conversation about this with my midwife to set expectations for my current pregnancy (approaching due date; last was induced at 41+5). My takeaway is that there is minor evidence of increased risk of still birth post-39 weeks for 35 yrs plus. (I’m also 37). Her view is that it’s a very personal decision re weighing of risks, but for an otherwise healthy pregnancy, and under 40, she doesn’t think that risk outweighs the risk of c-section resulting from induction. I haven’t decided what I want to do if I go more than a few days past 40. But their practice is open to inducing at my request after 39 weeks. (And FWIW, my induction last time was a fine experience). Hope your baby comes on his or her own quickly and easily. [/quote]
