Rebecca thanks for posting that!! I agree too many births being induced for non medical reasons these days, I wouldnt ever want that to be me, if the baby doesnt come on their own, they just arent ready yet

Quote:
Premature babies have a greater risk of medical complications. Babies born even a few days premature are more likely to endure health problems. Neither doctors nor mothers can determine a baby's due date with 100 percent accuracy. Therefore, a scheduled induction at 39 weeks could result in giving birth to a preterm baby who is only 36 weeks gestation.
This is so true and has already happened on this very site to a couple of mothers, Im sure they will share their stories!
