“There’s no benefit in waiting.”
To check your cervix.
To induce labor.
To break your water.
To start Pitocin.
To move to a cesarean.
But… isn’t there?
Even if the benefit is simply peace of mind.
Acceptance of your circumstance.
One last warm meal.
A quiet night in your own bed.
If there’s no true emergency—
or a strong likelihood of one—
then data isn’t the only thing that matters.
Your peace matters.
Your autonomy matters.
Your research matters.
Your desires matter.
Because your birth story isn’t defined by statistics. It is defined by you.
