| Your body has been getting ready in many ways over the last few weeks. We have talked before of the labor and what it entails. We have discussed pain relief and other aspects as well. As you know many healthy pregnancies will still be in full gear past 40 weeks gestation. This is very normal, only about 4% of women will actually give birth on their due date. While 98% of women, including those who give birth on their due dates, will give birth 2 weeks before or 2 weeks after. So, let's talk about inductions of labor for a moment. Inductions are the artificial means used to bring about labor. Thee can be medically managed, like pitocin or amniotomy (breaking your water), or by non-medical means. Either way, you need to really give a great deal of thought to the risks and benefits of inductions. And remember, no matter how your baby gets here or what you did or said in labor… You did a great job! Baby: Your baby |
