[quote=Anonymous]if it's "science", please provide links to scientific evidence that supports this claim.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice:
1. Read Pushed by Jennifer Block immediately.  It really opened my eyes to the correlation between induction and intervention.  The book pushes evidence that if the baby isn't ready to come, induction is a fast way to get a c section.  Also 40 weeks in the mean delivery time with births ranging from 38-42 weeks.  All this crap about the baby becoming too big in the womb really needs to be examined.

2. Also on netflix is "more business of being born" - wouldn't hurt to watch it.

3. if you decide to stay at sibley with your OB, I would doula up ASAP.  and plan to labor at home for awhile with her.  This way you can do all the walking around, showering and eating you want.

4. Wisdom has some great diet and herbal reccomendations that might be beneficial to your labor.  They are available on their website: http://www.gwdocs.com/midwifery-services/nutritional-guidelines[/quote]

baby should not be in longer than 39 weeks. that's science.[/quote][/quote]
