Vital info every mom-to-be needs to know
Moms-to-be shouldn't choose to induce labour or have C-sections earlier than 39 weeks, a new study says.
"There’s a common perception that if you just get to 34 or 37 weeks, everything will be fine," said Alan Fleischman, senior vice-president and medical director at the March of Dimes. But recent research suggests that's not true — and a major study released yesterday found that the risk of infant death for a 39-week pregnancy is half that of a 37-week pregnancy.
