[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m another “their measurements weren’t close” but in the other direction. My “might need NICU too small!” baby was born 6lbs 12oz. So while the measurements are notoriously wrong...they’re not only wrong in the direction you’re thinking in this case. Induction at 39 weeks actually has the lowest risk of c-section, even as compared to spontaneous labor, so I would not let a c-section risk by itself deter you. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/induced-labor-39-weeks-may-reduce-likelihood-c-section-nih-study-suggests [/quote] From your own article "a difference that was not statistically significant." [/quote] It’s the very next sentence: “However, the proportion of cesarean delivery was significantly lower for the induced group (18.6 percent), compared to the other group (22.2 percent).” I’m an evidence based medicine proponent and this is...evidence.
