[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I DO NOT put my blind trust in anyone.  I do my own research.

I did deliver in a hospital, but did not arrive til I was nearly  9cm and delivered within the hour.  No drugs, absolutely.  Plan on doing the same with my 2nd, due in November. [/quote]

Do you do as much research as someone who is a licensed OB?

A few weeks on Google vs. med school and residency?[/quote]

Is your theory that the doctors who don’t push the 39 week induction somehow did worse med school/residency? Or that perhaps they see more value in waiting to 40 weeks in their medical experience outside one study?[/quote]

I continue to not get this “push” thing. Don’t they still have to recommend it? Make you aware of the recommendation, ethically? I didn’t feel pushed. I think the doctor said something like “because of your age and your GD, we recommend you have an induction at 39 weeks. It’s because of studies showing better outcomes.” I don’t see how that’s “pushing.”[/quote]

My doctor only mentioned the arrive study when we were discussing the need for me to avoid a c-section (in her medical judgement, due to a family history of problems with anesthesia.) and she said she did not, personally, think the benefits in my case would outweigh the risk of a NICU stay for an unexpectedly small baby. Better outcomes for low risk first time mothers do not translate across to every single patient.  So if my OB recommended an early induction it would be against her medical judgement. [/quote]
