  • That's the thing, you don't have to reply. And I wasn't aware of the search tool until recently and maybe she isn't either. That's why I'm saying we should be helping one another because not everyone knows how to use these apps and they see these posts and think "hey I'll post something and get some answers" they don't know that their same question has already been addressed.
  • I didn't defend her "ridiculousness" I simply said that her question could've been answered without negative feed back and told her that the baby would come when he or she is ready.

    My friend just had her baby. She is due on the 6th of August. Her baby has had to spend the past few days, and first few days of its life, strapped up to monitors. She can't bring her baby home. So why, why would you want to put yourself through that. Just wait a bit more, unless, your body says whelp, it's time. Or, there is a medical reason. Not just a "oh I'm so tired of being pregnant" because that is selfish of you to put your child in harm's way
  • As the mummy of a 30 week preemie I'd like to throw out there I am not offended by these posts although I can't speak for everyone - BUT I will say they are getting a bit ridiculous now. We are all wanting to meet our babies and all feeling uncomfortable but surely if you've been on this forum for a while you would of known the type of reaction you would get when posting something like this. Bottom line, your baby is best to stay put until 40 weeks, yes some babies born earlier have no issues and can go home as normal but the point is the baby will come when it's ready. I am the first to moan about wanting my baby now but I'm well aware she is better where she is. There must be something in the air this week cause all I'm seeing is argueing. If you don't like what someone posts ignore it, simples! We are all grown ladies so let's just all stick to acting like it. Woah I needed that!
  • Wow. Just wow.

    Guys!!! This is a very common topic to talk about... If u guys are not liking it its ok. But u hav no right to say bad things about it... Of u dont like it dont reply to it... People do these type of things... I jus posted a topic to have your advice not listen to your crap...even i m pregnant... The ninth month is very patience less....its the most uncomfortable one... [-(
    so if i asked to have an advice from the members of The Bump... But unfortunately...u guys can only discourage people....

    Thanks a lot...

    Don't worry about what these mean moms are saying. They are going out of their way to make you feel inferior. Although I also suggest waiting as there are so many studies showing how tremendously being even a week early affects brain development and cognitive thinking, most women get anxious. I'm encouraging you to stay positive and eat healthy, give that baby time to cook and enjoy the solace of having freedom for now. ❤️. Good luck!

    If you don't want honest opinions from internet strangers on a public forum, you probably should be asking for opinions elsewhere.  Education is key here.  These lovely ladies graciously took time out of their days to provide you with educated responses on why you shouldn't attempt to induce labor early.  37 weeks is EARLY term.  It's too early to start induction without medical reasons backing it up.  Keep your baby baking as long as possible.  Just because people commonly speak of topics such as these does not make them good ideas in the least.  Most of us are in our ninth month and experiencing the same discomforts as you.  Personally, I will take the discomfort for a bit longer to make sure my baby has the best chance possible.

    Just my .02, some women have reasons why they would like their babies here earlier other than just ready to see them. I would love for mine to come 1-2 weeks early because I'm due the second week of my last semester of nursing school. While I wouldn't wish her any harm, her being here a little early would be beneficial for both of us because I do not get maternity leave. I get FIVE days... That's it. I can only miss five days of school. So if she came at 38 weeks, I would get a full week to bond with her along with not missing any school. If she came at 39 weeks, I would get five days and miss 2.5 days of school. As selfish as it sounds to say I don't want to miss school... it's my last semester before graduating and achieving my goal of becoming an RN as well as a career that will support my child. So before jumping all over another moms ass about wanting her baby to come early, remember there are reasons that some women keep unspoken. You never truly know what each and every one of us are going through physically, emotionally, finiacially or spiritually.

    I had a woman in my class that gave birth during mid way and she came back in a few days like a boss. It can be done.

    I'm not saying it can't be done... It's exactly what I have to do. A lot of the other students have done this as well. It's hard but it's worth it in the end especially being so close to graduating! (:

    Here's my 2 cents:
    Or instead of wishing your baby early, you could take off a semester. I'm one semester away from my BSN, but I decided to take off this semester and take my last semester in January. To me, spending time with my new LO is WAY more important than finishing school on schedule. What's a few months in the grand scheme of things anyway???

    Of course there are *reasons*. I'm sure most of us BTDT moms don't really need you to remind us of that. Not one of those reasons, in my opinion, are valid reasons to have an elective induction. There are just too many possible risks involved.

    So, while you think someone is "up your ass" you remember that we all have our own opinions and ultimately that's what this post was looking for.

    And I'm sure other posters don't need negative Nancy reminding them of how some people on this forum do not have manners. I never asked if you thought my reason was appropriate for an early induction. I was giving an example of my rebuttal to the people who are quick to judge. As with anything that anyone does in this world, there are many POSSIBLE risks yet you still see people getting out of their house, driving (while texting), living their life, having elective surgery, etc. There are many possible risks of life but people still take them and no one jumps down their throat.

    My statement was to show that while everyone is so quick to judge, I on the other hand take into consideration that there may be some other reason that someone asks about early induction. What if they are saying "because I want to see my child" when really they have a loved one dying and they would like to let their child meet them before passing? What if their husband is fixing to deploy? What if they are hiding behind a reason that is important? I have been taught in school to always look at other possibilities of why someone is acting a certain way or asking a question. To me, that is one attribute that will make a great nurse... Because I am not jumping to conclusions.

    Major reading comprehension fail on your part, nurse. Never said my opinion mattered in your case. Bottom line: opinions are like assholes. Take it or leave it. Don't try and justify your elective induction to someone who doesn't support it. You don't need too. Again, OP asked for advice and that's what she got.

  • Why wouldn't you ask your doctor about effective home induction methods? Ask him/her and you will get your doctor's opinion of whether you should even be thinking about this yet (no is my guess). You will also hear from them how effective they have seen different methods used in their past patients. I'm sure they get asked from a lot of women at the end of their patience in their final weeks so they can tell you what *medically* would make an early induction a good idea, and what methods if any work best in their experience. My guess though is that you will get a sympathetic pat on the back and then be told to try to stay as comfortable as possible while you wait for baby to finish cooking.

    I think the issue is the rude tone everyone is posting in. Nobody wishes for an unhealthy baby or to do harm to their baby, but there are tokes where you just want the baby to be born already! Im a little bummed at all the judgement. Why can't we offer some "hang in there, i get where youre coming from and baby will come when ready!"?

    Everyone used up the "hang in there I get where you're coming from" nice comments on the last 150 how do I start labour posts. Sunshine and rainbows are available by using the search function and reading the previous threads :)
    ^^ This! If only newbies would read the guidelines, they would know to use the search function and obtain whatever answer they are looking for! Alas, it is obvious they believe they are the only ones to ever think of their particular question, so why bother searching?
