[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve never heard of induction just for ama alone. [/quote] welcome to obstetric medicine, where they instantly accept the findings of one study that supports an intervention they like to use liberally, while evidence from multiple studies that shows an intervention causes more harm than good takes 20+ years to stop using.[/quote] just to clarify, they are not recommending induction for AMA alone. They are recommending it because of low platelet count and possible risks that come with waiting. I guess it is their policy to recommend higher risk AMA pregnancies be induced between 39 and 40 weeks generally, but that isn't what is happening with me and I don't feel pushed based solely on my age. I personally wouldn't be comfortable waiting until 42 weeks for an induction (if it came to that), but I did want until 41 if possible to give my body time, but the platelet count is a complicating and unpredictable factor.
