S/O "he'll come when he's ready"

luckyabby09 · September 2009

I personally think its funny that people say this if you plan on inducing, for non medical reasons. Like its some sort of hate crime toward the baby. But if you go into labor at 30 weeks like I did, and say "oh well he'll come when he wants" people just look at you like your crazy. Personally i have done NOTHING to try to induce him, and if he came tomorrow I would be a little upset, since not as much is ready as I would like. But I would be okay with it!

Flame away!

My first son came at 35 weeks and he was fine!

Yeah, but an induction isn't your baby calling the shots or your body calling it quits.

It's you taking it into your own hands for no medical reason that has benefits to the baby or your body.

i really think people just say that to try to make pregnant women feel better. it annoys me though. the only thing that makes me feel better is a back rub and a nap. lol

I would love to see the anthrax laced mail that someone would get if they dared come on these boards talking about being "too posh to push" LOL

to each his own. babies come when they want...some come early, some come late......some of us need the peace of mind that if baby isn't here by due date, an induction for the next day is possible.

just remember ladies....a martyr mentality is terribly unattractive.

well you are comparing apples to bananas here.

Having a baby come on his own there is nothing you can do. You hope for the best and hope they are okay.

But putting your child at that risk just because your tired of being pregnant? Not quite the same.

When I was researching my induction, I read about being to posh to push! I thought it sounded terribly funny! I almost posted saying thats what I wanted to do!

I'm glad someone else has heard of it.

I'm not inducing at 37 weeks. I'm inducing at 39.3, there is a HUGE difference

wait, is this a post in general or a follow up to your post from last night? because I was generally speaking, not speaking of your particular situation ( which you did ask for opinions on last night, and my opinion is I 100% disagree with your reasoning)

This post is in general. I was S/O from a post further down on the board. I felt as if you were trying to attack my position from last night.

I just don't see how you can say you would only be upset if your baby came tomorrow because YOU'RE not entirely ready. If your baby came tomorrow he may have to spend some time in NICU. That would be my reason for not wanting him to come tomorrow!

also, you shouldn't end a post that is semi controversial with "flame away" if

1. you really don't want to hear it

2. it's a thinly veiled attempt to somehow get validation today for something you were highly flamed for yesterday

I'm wondering why we keep beating this dead horse. Abby has decided to have an early induction because she feels like it. Lots of people here (including me) strongly disagree with it.

Why do we need to keep discussing it every single day? Who really gives a damn anymore.

THIS! It must be exhausting to be so judgmental.

This. I think the reason it keeps getting brought up is because Abby keeps bringing it up! None of us are going to change her mind though, so we might as well stop wasting our breath.

Yep. Over it. Its all negative attention.

I think it's pretty darn sad that waiting for baby to come rather than scheduling for convenience is considered martyrdom
