Can Elective Inductions Reduce the Cesarean Rate?

Today we are taking a close look at a recently released research, the ARRIVE trial abstract that suggests elective inductions at 39 weeks could reduce the cesarean rate. What does this mean for pregnant people and maternity care? Does mother nature really have it all wrong? Is there a better way of reducing the cesarean rate? Sharon Muza helps make sense of all these questions and more. Get the most of this episode by checking out the resources and links listed on the “show-notes” page at: birthful.com/podcastarrivetrialabstractIf you enjoy what you hear, make sure to leave your rating or review.
