2 questions 1-induced labor and cerebral palsy

Posted by rebecca 86 on 11:37 10/21/1999:

Dear Dr. Amos
My doc wants to induce my labor, after a week when I go off lovenox, if I do not go into labor naturally. He plans to take be off lovenox as soon as my body indicates impending labor. I think the purpose of inducing is so I am not off lovenox for a long period of time. I have herd that inducing labor may cause a greater risk for cp in the baby, because the contractions are not natural, and the baby is not helping along in the birth. Is there any kind of studies out there, what do you know of this? Any information would be useful.
thank you
Rebecca
