Objective Induction of labour at 39 weeks for nulliparous women aged 35 years and over may prevent stillbirths and does not increase caesarean births, so it may be popular. But the overall costs and benefits of such a policy have not been compared.... Read More about Labour induction near term for women aged 35 or over: an economic evaluation.

Randomized trial of labor induction in women 35 years of age or older (2016)
Journal Article
