[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. The guidance exists because of adverse outcomes. Why are people lying to increase their own risk of catastrophic adverse outcomes. You guys deserve what you get I guess. [/quote]

Because the guidance differs with the standard of care elsewhere. Unless you’re saying every other DC hospital and practice is increasing their risk of catastrophic adverse outcomes, then this is a decision that should be made by a patient with her doctor, the managed care practice her doctor is a part of.

The American college of obstetricians and gynecologists recommends 41 weeks. Say what you will of Kaiser, but they are evidence based [/quote]

ACOG website says 42 0/1, unless the dates are uncertain at which point they recommend 41.  Given that every other practitioner in the region has at least some flexibility on the dates— and that other Kaiser patients were told they can go over 41 earlier in the thread— an actual policy on 41 weeks for healthy baby and mother would not reflect evidence based care.
