Safest, perhaps. Best? Some women would disagree with that. Most studies don't measure maternal satisfaction. The few that do seem to indicate maternal satisfaction is highest when women feel in like they're more than just a uterus and have a say in childbirth. For some, induction and epidural is exactly what they want. Others, that would be a nightmare for them.

The website Evidence Based Birth has an extensive article on this subject. Well worth reading, imo, so each woman can make the informed decision that is right for them.[/quote]

There is not a consensus that induction is safest across the board. Not by far. Agree that women and their OBs or midwives need to weigh the risks of each option for themselves[/quote]

Not really. Any practitioner that would let a 40+ mom go much past 40 weeks would be practicing well out of the mainstream. [/quote]
