    This is dangerous advice. Rightly so women should be offered induction when complications arise, but going overdue should be considered with all necessary information.
    By going overdue you are at a heightened risk of placental insufficiency, failure and ultimately stillbirth. So before you preach to vulnerable women about being strong and making health professionals out to be the enemy please understand that it is not the easy option for doctors and midwives to recommend induction of labour when you are T+10 for example. We are only providing care based on what is best for both mother and baby, women should be fully informed but your article suggests we are the enemy and that is certainly not the case. Like you said women are forced to hear about risks of stillbirth but we have a duty to inform women and their partners to allow them to make an informed decision to ensure that they are making the right decision for them, their baby and their unique pregnancy. After all, it is not only the “normal”, unassisted birth which is an achievement or something to be proud of, and it’s really not the most important thing which you seem to suggest.

      Actually Jasmine, current ACOG recommendations for induction are for after 42 weeks and by 42+6/7. Anything before that is based on inconsistent Science. Need proof? Here you go from an ACOG bulletin https://www.sdb.unipd.it/sites/sdb.unipd.it/files/Amb%20Gravidanze%20a%20Termine%20Post%20Termina%20ACOG%202014.pdf
