It concerns me that one of the recent posters feels that if someone is
induced (for a medical reason, of course) at 37 weeks,no one is taking the
mother and baby's well-being into account.
Now granted, if a doc is just bringing someone in at that gestation for a
social reason, then yes, the mother and baby are at risk, of course.
However, if that mother has to be induced for severe pre-eclampsia (for
instance), or another condition that risks mother and/or baby, then the
physician is certainly being prudent in his/her management. "Do no harm"
goes both ways. Waiting could be doing more harm than good, just as
proceeding without a valild medical indication is also a risk for both
mother and baby.
