A member asked:

Cholestasis of pregnancy - are there any alternatives to inducing at 37 weeks? can you wait till proper full term of 39 weeks by monitoring baby often?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Balance: There is always a balance to consider in these situations. Not all babies give clear indications on the monitor that something is wrong, and stillbirth, when it happens, happens mostly without warning. You can talk with doctor about your specific situation, as well as the risks of prematurity at 37 weeks. Typically, the balance at 37 weeks lays with inducing labor to prevent stillbirth.
