[quote=Anonymous]Not all OBs "like to induce at 40 weeks". Mine recommends induction at 42 weeks. If you are going to claim that the risk of stillbirth rises after that, please cite research. I don't think that's universally accepted as true. Also, while it's true that due dates can be off, that's another reason not to induce at 40 weeks -- what if a mom is only 38 or 39 weeks and not actually 40? then you are setting your baby up for possible unnecessary respiratory problems by forcing him or her out too early. [quote=Anonymous]OB's like to induce at 40 weeks because the risk of stillbirth rises after that esp if the dating is off (ie 40 weeks is really 41 or 42 weeks).[/quote][/quote]
