[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The different between a 38-40 week baby is not at all worth the risk of stillbirth to me. [/quote] Yes, all of this. With one in 160 pregnancies ending in stillbirth, I would take the lowest risk route possible, especially given your age.[/quote] Really?!?! 1 in 160? Is it really that high? My mom practiced for 30 years and only lost 2 babies in all that time. I can't imagine the numbers being that high. [/quote] Sadly it may be even higher. CDC says stillbirth affects 1% of pregnancies. https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/stillbirth/facts.html[/quote] Right. PP was your mom actually an OB? When she said she only "lost" 2 babies, she was likely referring to intrapartum deaths (where the baby dies during delivery). That's actually very rare in the US because we monitor babies during delivery and do c-sections if they get into trouble. That's a kind of stillbirth, but not the only kind. [/quote]
