When will we learn? 
 
When ONE peice of selective research shows that still birth rates are lower in the 39th week and suddenly all the obs are saying that ALL women should be induced at 39 to save more babies.....and no one argues it! Scaremongering and manipulation of findings, nothing more and nothing less.  The OB whom most of us consider a decent bloke said that this sort of finding would help those women who go home empty handed...what about all those who go home with scars on their bellies?  Apparently there is no link to increased cs rates with inductions according to his public address: hmm....can you follow that up with a percentage of how many women induced @ women's & childens end in cs?? No.  Hmmm.... 
 
 It is amazing how selective the pickings are of what findings are used to change the system or justify acts: at the same time this research was released, the study into homebirth safety was released....didnt hear a peep and no one rushed off to make huge changes from that.  I think there should be a NON BIASED body that governs what reseach findings can influence change.  I say non-biased because the latest generation of chocrane is heavily laden with preset agendas. Stins with the retched waft of politics of self survival.

well said julie.
over the past few weeks i have been in labour ward with many women induced and all of them have lead to a cascade of intervention culminating in LSCS. The woman i was with the last shift, for example, ended up with a trial of forceps in theatre! why oh why do the powers that be decided it is time to come out ready or not! not to mention the fact that women then feel let down that they cannot due to a myriad of facts such as maternal exhaustion push that baby out.
JUST WHEN WILL WE LEARN.
regards
