There are always exceptions to the rule. I...Sarah,<br />There are always exceptions to the rule. It scares me when the rule is to tamper. I hope you don't gather that I am so callous as to think that there are no circumstances under which it is better for mom, baby, or the whole family to make those kinds of decisions. I'm just an idealist, so I stand on a very idealistic soapbox - that I know in real life isn't always strong enough to hold me :o)<br /><br />It's always a relief when things work out well despite our interventions!!Bri (like the cheese)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03059709999827461473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415022290841936255.post-79839476066291454352010-08-24T14:36:48.822-05:002010-08-24T14:36:48.822-05:00I'm sorry to have been "one of those moms...I'm sorry to have been "one of those moms" for all 3 of my pregnancies. I don't argue your points, in fact, I completely agree with them! I was induced with Tize at 39 w 6 days, with Wes at 39 wks and with Parker at 39 wks. Unfortunately for me, my inductions stem from another place. My MIL has Hep C. Completely life-threatening and non-treatable. My parents have 3 other kids that live at home, and are also at a point in their lives when they like to travel a lot. I HAVE to plan (I would prefer not to), in order to guarantee that my children will be taken care of by MY parents. It gives no option for my MIL to argue the possibility of her watching them. It SUCKS! I have wonderful friends, and some that I could use in an extremely worst case scenario, but do not agree with much of their parenting (or marraige skills, which I wouldn't want my children around for 3 days). I would trust my husband dearly with our children, but he does not agree with me in regards to his mother not watching our kids. Therefore, I want him with me in the hospital. It's too much to get in to on here, but I just wanted you to know that sometimes, there are other reasons than "I'm tired of being pregnant" (not that I wasn't). For me, I HAVE to protect my children from a disease that could kill them. Especially since my MIL is far from cautionary. =( I always hope that the next baby will come on his/her own, when MIL is out of town. I would LOVE to experience the "uncertainty" of labor.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12405717949135391732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415022290841936255.post-86297694416831609862010-06-27T21:09:21.136-05:002010-06-27T21:09:21.136-05:00Yes, too many people are quick to induce these day...Yes, too many people are quick to induce these days even when they have perfectly healthy pregnancies. Crazy how someone can go 9 months but not another week or so. Baby will come when baby's good and ready. Good for you for deciding to stick it out this time (but it worked in Aine's favor anyway). :)Leah Mrazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04805300048352233683noreply@blogger.com
