Loading ...“Get this baby out of me!”
For generations upon generations there has always been a time during pregnancy when the mother thinks, “Get this baby out of me!” understandable when you consider things like hyperemisis, SPD, back ache, swollen feet, shortness of breath and the other inconveniences pregnancy throws at you.
If there was one thing I would like to do, it would be to stop the ‘ole wife tale’ remedies being banded about between women who are pre due date.
There is nothing more horrific than seeing a distressed baby at birth, goddess forbid a blue baby at birth, I know, sadly I have been in that position twice and heard of many others. Luckily my daughter and granddaughter were both ok, both ‘over due’ and neither had been induced.
This isn’t the case for many others.
I am a firm believer that unless there is some medical urgency for birthing the baby by induction then it shouldn’t be sociably acceptable to ‘abort’ a pregnancy so near to a ‘guessed’ birth date.
The date you are given and so proudly wave about as your EDD is a guess, it isn’t predetermined that babies are born 40 weeks after your last period, this is a date that encompasses most probabilities. The World Health Organization defines normal term for delivery as between 37 weeks and 42 weeks. That can still change from woman to woman, from pregnancy to pregnancy, I know myself and many others have carried to 44 weeks.
What is it that makes women think they have a right to evict the baby once they have had enough of being pregnant? Who started this and when did this become socially acceptable?
I also accept that many inductions go fine and without problem, which is why we have a section in the forum where members are invited to give their experiences of pre term induction and post term induction. Opinions from Midwives greatly appreciated! Click for topic >HERE<

Parents spend on average 49 minutes a day together with their children, according to a new survey
Of 3,000 parents surveyed 68% cited money as a barrier to spending more time with their family.
The study, which also asked the opinions of 1,000 children, was conducted ahead of National Family Week next week.
Of the children surveyed 66% were happy to spend time with their family at home rather than going out.
The study said: “Pound sign parents are blaming money for being the biggest obstacle to positive family life with 36% citing it as having a negative impact on family time.”
It says this is “rubbing off” on their children as more than a quarter of eight to 15-year-olds in the survey said money was the most important thing to them, putting cash in front of their health, education, sport or music SOURCE BBC News
