It's a seductive thought, that we can control things. That we can guarantee outcomes. I get what you're saying Emmy83. I think there's a general misperception that with interventions the surgeon is in control, meaning risks are reduced, as opposed to letting nature take its course. But the statistics just don't support this. Yes, you may eliminate the risk of late-term loss by inducing early, but you introduce a whole hoard of other risks (which may be statistically more significant).

IVF mothers are given short shrift if OBs assume they can't make rational decisions for themselves.
