  This is fantastic! I really hope other hospitals will follow their example.

  I agree.  After being on the May 2013 board, I felt that there were so many people getting inductions just because they were 41 weeks and not because anything was wrong.

  I don't understand why everyone doesn't do this solely for cost reasons.

  Choosing to have your kid at 37 weeks for no medical reason is freaking child endangerment.

  ETA: not legally, obviously.

  I know people say drs like to pressure for inductions, but almost everyone I know has tried to be induced before 40 weeks. I wonder how much is pressure on the drs to induce by pregnant women. Obviously this is just my experience and not an actual sceintific data. My dr said I was more patient than most women when I said I would go to 41 weeks before considering induction.

  I think this is definitely part of it.  What I don't get is that in other medical situations, patients don't get to dictate to doctors what kind of treatment is appropriate for their condition.  Especially when inductions are more likely to lead to complications and c-sections, upping the odds that something is going to go wrong and the doctor is going to get sued.  I think doctors need to nut up and just tell women "no."

  Also pregnant women need to whine less.  Pregnancy is 40-42 weeks.  That's what you signed up for.  Deal with it.

  I am in a mood today.

  I wonder this as well. There sure are a lot of pregnant bishes on my newsfeed whining that their doctors won't induce them. It's probably very nice as a doctor to have your hands tied by the hospital policy.

  No one wants to go to 42 weeks... but no one should be able to ask for an induction and get it solely on a desire to be done. 

  I was surprised by how many people asked me about whether I would have an induction and I wasn't even 40 weeks yet.
