Late preterm birth and elective inductions-one of my pet peeves
Sorry for the huge layout, but blogger was having a hard time working with this image for me:) In any case, I wanted to show this whole thing because I think it gives such a good idea of why we should wait to be induced. I know there are a ton of good induction stories out there. I have been a part of many of them, but I still feel like it's not really worth the risk, particularly for first time moms. But like anything in birth and labor, I feel like a woman has the ability to make her decisions based on her own degree of comfort with the risks. I wish more doctors would explain that there are risks though.
