Should Labor be Routinely Induced from 39 Weeks of Gestation?
Journal Title: World Journal of Gynecology & Womens Health (WJGWH) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Extended delay in the onset of spontaneous labor at term continues to be a concern of practicing obstetricians due to the potential neonatal complications of post-maturity. The perinatal mortality rate is known to progressively increase from 40 weeks of gestation in otherwise uncomplicated pregnancies [1,2], but there have been conflicting reports regarding whether routine induction of labor would be associated with increased likelihood of primary c/section. One recent study addresses these issues and provides statistical evidence for the maternal benefits of elective induction of labor at 39 weeks of gestation without compromising fetal safety.
