A member asked:
Can you tell me in pregnancy, when should labor ideally be induced, if both the mother and child are healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not : Unless the OB has found evidence that would push for an earlier delivery, normal pregnancies should not be induced before 38-39 wks. In one of my hospitals, this is part of their standards.
