[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was really wary of induction and looked for an OB who didn't induce AMA until 41 weeks (sadly, I still was induced). But there actually is lots of new (or newly recognized) evidence about the reduction in stillbirths and the small increased risks. You could talk to her about waiting a few additional days, but, even as someone who wanted more time, it may be best to induce. (FWIW, my baby was born vaginally with both of us healthy, although she did have lots of meconium and had to have her lungs suctioned which was really scary.) [/quote] That does sound very scary. Was the baby suctioned because of not breathing well or low apgar, or just because they saw meconium? It is common for later term babies to be born with meconium (just means their bowels have matured) but it usually does not get into their lungs unless there was some other problem. Just curious about the protocols for it.[/quote]
