[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old are you? They do this for advanced maternal age due to the placenta deteriorating. I would induce instead having the possibility of a stillborn. [/quote] I thought it was based on the ARRIVE trial which was also for low risk first time moms. The UK study about older moms jsut compared rates of csection not rates of stillbirth, which is the actual concern with AMA moms from my understanding. [/quote] Yes the ARRIVE trial was actually looking to find that 39 week elective inductions would reduce the risk of stillbirth. It didn’t. It did find lower rates of complications like c-sections, but not by wide margins. It really demonstrated that elective induction at 39 weeks is fine, not that it should be mandatory.[/quote]
