Why the fear of Post Dates?! and What is with all the inductions?

I have had so many mom's pressured into induction for one reason or another, when often it is simply because the magical date circled in red on the calendar has come and gone (or worse! Getting close!!!).

I have read many articles, but this gal Emily has done a great job of writing an article that puts things so nice and concisely, and links to the actual articles and quotes, so... Please, check out her link and take the information to heart...
