Abstract
Current evidence and professional organizations identify letting labor begin on its own as one of the most important strategies for promoting normal, physiologic birth. It also prevents iatrogenic prematurity and the need for high-tech medical interventions required for labor induction. Because the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) now states that it is reasonable for obstetric care providers to offer induction at 39 weeks to low-risk nulliparous women, it is more important than ever for childbirth educators to be familiar with best evidence on letting labor begin on its own.
