In a study presented today at the Society for Maternal - Fetal Medicine's (SMFM) annual meeting, The Pregnancy Meeting ™, researchers unveiled findings that suggest that
induction of labor at 39 weeks of gestation among healthy, first - time mothers reduces the rate of cesarean birth as compared to expectant management among the same population.
Similarly, in another large cohort, the rate of VBAC was higher among women undergoing
induction of labor at 39 weeks compared with expectant management (73.8 % versus 61.3 %, P <.001)(104).
So we can expect for them to come out ANY MINUTE in favor of
induction of labor at 41 weeks because it decreases the risk of c / s compared to expectant management, rite??
