When is the best time to have the baby?

The optimal time of delivery for women with low-risk pregnancy has been a continuing source of controversy, but a debate on the elective induction of labor at 39 weeks at American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists 2016 Annual Clinical Meeting turned out to be a statement of consensus.
The two presenters agreed that evidence is mounting that waiting beyond 39 weeks is not advisable.
"Continuing the pregnancy beyond 39 weeks is riskier than previously believed for the fetus," said Errol Raymond Norwitz, MD, PhD, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Tufts University School of Medicine in Boston. In addition, risks to the mother associated with routine induction "are lower than appreciated," he said.
"I was absolutely opposed" to the elective induction of labor at 39 weeks, said Charles Lockwood, MD, dean of the Morsani College of Medicine at the University of South Florida in Tampa. In fact, he was prepared to debunk the notion.
But after much reading, "it's overwhelmingly evident that elective induction of labor is the logical strategy," he said.
Members of the audience in the crowded ballroom were won over by Drs Norwitz and Lockwood. Before the presentations, 20% said that it would be best to deliver most women at 39 weeks, 17% were unsure, and 63% were against the idea.
After the presentations, 81% of the attendees said they changed or reconsidered their view. In fact, 70% said they agreed that it is best to deliver most women at 39 weeks, 21% were still unsure, but only 9% were against the idea.

I remember one day I sat down and counted all the men I have met in my life and I felt so small because I know I am not perfect but I give all I can to the man aiming to remain with him but at the end of the day I remained alone. Men could come and go and I couldn't see the money I was working for being paid a good salary but I couldn't prosper when the time came that I failed to put bread on the table. My friend Totty Brobyn advised me to contact Dr Azuka +2349166175418 for a special prayer of cleansing. Dr Azuka advised me that I must do a cleansing prayer to take away all the bad luck and genealogical curse which were following me, we did the prayer online since I was far from him. It took me three days to realize changes in my life. I was promoted at work, my boyfriend also came back to me and proposed to me we have been together for two years now and things are fine. We are preparing for our wedding this December. I know that prayers work and I strongly believe the prayers of dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com helped me to regain my happiness thanks, Dr Azuka.

I TESTED POSITIVE FOR HSV-2 A FEW MONTHS AGO.
At first, Yes, I was devastated thinking I have an incurable STD for life. After doing hours of research I quickly realized genital herpes is a filthy parasite that just likes to hide in your body. Yes, There’s no “medical cure” but that doesn’t mean your body can’t get rid of it. I literally flush it out of my system with the help of Doctor Azuka, A natural herbal medicine which I ordered after doing some research. And now I’m HSV-2 negative, I never believed it until my doctor finally gave me the test results and behold I was HSV-2 free. I’m so glad that I found you, Doctor Azuka. Thanks so much for your goodness I’m grateful. You can also get your help from him through his

It's interesting to know that it could be more dangerous to continue a pregnancy for more than 39 weeks. I will keep that in mind now that my husband and I have agreed to finally try for a baby. First, I should probably see a gynecologist first to know how my health is, so we can understand what we can expect.

Omg I Finally Got Helped !! I'm so excited right now, I just have to share my testimony on this Forum.. The feeling of being loved takes away so much burden from our shoulders. I had all this but I made a big mistake when I cheated on my wife with another woman and my wife left me for over 4 months after she found out.. I was lonely, sad and devastated. Luckily I was directed to a very powerful spell caster Dr Emu who helped me cast a spell of reconciliation on our Relationship and he brought back my wife and now she loves me far more than ever.. I'm so happy with life now. Thank you so much Dr Emu, kindly Contact Dr Emu Today and get any kind of help you want.. Via Email emutemple@gmail.com or Call/WhatsApp cell number +2347012841542

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.
