Induction for AMA?

Alison

Hi ladies,

I’m currently 39 weeks, 3 days pregnant and 38-years-old. At my appointment today the midwife recommended inducing on my due date due to age-related risks. She said that past age 35, but especially past 38, there is a risk of demise to the baby because the placenta might stop nourishing the baby. I hadn’t heard about this before so just wondering if anyone knows research I can check out. I really didn’t want to induce & want a natural birth, but most importantly I want what’s best for our baby. Any advice is appreciated 😄
