Case Jane, at 37 weeks and 3 days gestation in her second pregnancy, is meeting with her obstetrician, Dr. Stevens, for a routine prenatal visit. As the visit is wrapping up, Jane mentions that, due to her work schedule, a week from now would be the best time for her to deliver, and she requests a labor induction during that week. Seeing the curiosity on Dr. Stevens’ face, she says plaintively, “The baby is already full-term, right? Waiting longer is only going to make it harder for me to keep up with my job!”
