Abstract

Introduction: The rate of maternal and perinatal complications increases after 39 weeks’ gestation. [1] Growing body of evidence supports improved or not worsened birth outcomes with non-medically indicated induction of labor at 39 weeks gestation compared with expectant management. This evidence includes 2 recent randomized control trials.[2-4] This study was conducted to evaluate whether induction of labor at 39 weeks improves perinatal and maternal outcomes in women with low risk pregnancy compared with induction of labor at 40 + weeks
