An alternative method for obstetric care has led to lower neonatal intensive care unit admission rates, higher uncomplicated vaginal birth rates and a lower mean Adverse Outcome Index (AOI) score, according to a new study from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and published in this month's issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
The alternative method, known as Active Management of Risk in Pregnancy at Term, uses "risk-based preventative labor induction to ensure that each pregnant woman enters labor at a gestational age that maximizes her chance for vaginal delivery," says lead researcher, James M. Nicholson, MD, assistant professor of Family Medicine and Community Health at Penn.

Interesting although I don't know exactly what obstretic care involves. Managing pregnancy risks?
It is good that they try to induce because of course is the natural way safer.
Umm, dumb question.. but .. what exactly is Obstetric care?
Whatever it is, it means PAIN!!!
