[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi - resurrecting this post. I am going to Foxhall and so far all the OBs I’ve seen recently there have asked me “when are you scheduling your induction?”. They keep citing studies about outcomes being equal to not inducing, which bears the question: then, why do I need to induce. The more I ask, it feels it’s a resourcing issue / workload for them, more than benefits for the mother. [/quote]

You are right to question. I’d say that to them - if the outcomes are equal, why not forego the induction if I am not high risk? And see what they tell you. Always keep an open mind but don’t feel like you can’t question it. And don’t let them give you the crap about how you need to reserve your date in advance. If they need to get you induced for medical need they can make it happen.

I had to be induced twice due to preeclampsia. Mine were ok but I would not choose it otherwise.

The plus of foxhall is that the quality of their doctors is high and odds are if you go into labor on your own you’ll have a good doc on call![/quote]
