Another successful labor 'encouragement' treatment! I don't mind when my pregnant patients miss their followup appointments because they've had a baby since i last saw them the other day. They get to avoid being medically induced and go into labor naturally (and send me sweet newborn baby pictures!)

Companies are overselling the accuracy of a new generation of prenatal tests and doing little to educate expecting parents or their doctors about the significant risk of false alarms.
