[quote=Anonymous]I think it's all about your risk tolerance. I did a deep dive on the data and ultimately decided to induce at 40 + 1 day (nervous about stillbirth risks and felt they really went up after 40 weeks, even though they're of course overall low). One of my OBs was pregnant at the time and she was very agnostic about my decision, but when I asked what she was going to do for her pregnancy, she was inducing at 39 weeks. Agree with those who say it made planning easier. Also you can ask for an epidural sooner, if you decide to get one. The most useful thing I read was this: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-on-inducing-labor-for-going-past-your-due-date/ Also a big Emily Oster fan and found this useful: https://emilyoster.substack.com/p/39-week-induction[/quote]
