[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]

+1. They can't force you to do anything so it's not a question of "allow" but I don't understand people who want a doctor there, but won't listen to the doctor's advice. Outcomes in the 39-40 week period are good. Not going past 41 weeks is the expert, evidence based recommendation. If you want to play the expert then why are you roping the doctor into it at all?[/quote]
