It all depends on the ability of the embryo to attach and grow in the uterus. So yes it is possible to get pregnant still but whether there is space for the baby to grow is another thing that the OB/GYN’s would have to decide. Yes those pregnancies would be high risk.
Midwife here 🙂
now several years after this poor study, there are a lot more inductions and it is affecting practice within systems of maternity care. It still has impact in 2025 – it is being used to pressure families into elective inductions at 39 weeks (still).
–> midewifes and OBs differ in care model, and this trial was based on a medical/OB views of medical care not midwifes.
Same goes for your Statement that we midwifes are nervous if woman pass the 40 week marker. No there is no evidence that there is any issue with going past 40 weeks gestation. The first significant statistically rise is with 42weeks.
Is pregnancy still possible with any of the uterine malformations? If so, would those pregnancies be more high risk?
