Has your doctor mentioned an induction of labor at 39 weeks (or a week before your due date)?? Wondering why? Look no further!! In August 2018 the New England Journal of Medicine published a large study called the ARRIVE Trial that looked at 6,106 women who were randomly split into two groups: ones that were induced at 39 weeks despite their Bishop Score (or how ready their cervix is) and the other that waited for labor to start on its own. They found that amongst those that were induced they had a 3.6% less chance of requiring a Cesarean birth for delivery. Now, it’s not quite that cut and dry! Does that mean that all women should be induced at 39 weeks to help avoid a cesarean? NOPE! BUT there are some considerations I want you to understand so that you can make the most informed, confident decision possible. Enjoy!
