- - This study aimed to find the best time for labor induction in normotensive singleton pregnancies to reduce risks like stillbirth, analyzing 70,293 births in Iceland from 1997 to 2018 while excluding high-risk cases.
- - Results showed that inducing labor at or after 40 weeks decreased cesarean rates without increasing adverse outcomes, while earlier inductions did not show significant benefits.
- - The conclusion emphasized that inducing labor post-40 weeks is safer for women without heightening risks for mothers or babies, and earlier induction in low-risk pregnancies isn’t beneficial.

The aim of our study was to explore the role of satisfaction with care in CB-PTSD symptoms.
