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.

If you weren't aware of he search tool, you clearly didn't read the post at the top of the page titled, Bump Guidelines. Why can't people read that when they get here? It would save a lot of these perceived "rude" comments.
I'll point out that you also didn't have to reply, but you did, so why can you come in like OPs white knight and defend her ridiculousness but we can't point out how dumb and insensitive it is to want a premature baby?
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.
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....

I actually did respond this way to begin with. And I feel like you're parenting us and scolding us on "how to be nice". I'm going to tell her the truth. We have a lot of women on this board who have had premature babies and it's unfair for them to have to see posts like this everyday.
Who is giving negative feedback? We are telling her the remedies don't work and not to do it. She's mad because no one was like "yes!!! You should try all the home remedies you can think of to get your baby out early!!"
Lots of blow jobs! The prostaglandins in semen are more effective if swallowed. There I am making some husbands very happy. Your welcome.

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!
Lots of blow jobs! The prostaglandins in semen are more effective if swallowed. There I am making some husbands very happy. Your welcome.
Actually I think it's the woman's orgasm that is really effective so everyone make sure your man is focused on your finish life - or just, Ya know, DIY it ☺️

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!

I dont usually say anything when posts get like this, but I dont understand why people get offended when others are honest. No one is outright mean. These ladies arent your BFFs and they arent going to sugar coat things for you. I for one would be grateful for honest feedback, which is what I expect when posting on a public forum. You get responses you like and you get some you dont, but thats kind of what you get in the real world.
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.

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.

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.

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???

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.
There are thousands of other reasons under the sun. Nonetheless, IMHO, anything besides the health and risk factors for mommy and baby are BS. And, this is coming from someone whose given birth alone while a spouse was deployed. As parents we are obligated to do what's best for our kids. School, travel, convenience, discomfort, etc. are irrelevant.

If any of these "reasons" are truly important, then these posters should get medically sound advice from their doctors, and if they are legitimate enough, their doctors will induce. But chances are, their doctors won't, so instead, it seems like all of these mothers-to-be are ignoring medical advice and taking matters into their own hands because it's what THEY want, not what's best for the baby. If it were best for the baby, your dr would do it!
To any posters that feel that they have a legit "need" for their babies to come early, ask your doctor. But don't come here complaining about how "mean" they are when they tell you the SAME THING WE ARE.
This is a touchy topic for me.
. Eta I know some doctors are induction happy which is a whole nother topic... I guess the gist of my post is let your dr be the judge of whether your reasoning is valid enough to risk your baby's health.

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.
Omfg!!!!!!! I have been on hospital bed rest for over a MONTH and you wanna know how to have your baby at 37 weeks just because. I'm here just to make sure I can keep her cooking for as long as possible. Am I uncomfortable, hell ya. Am I over this? Ummm duh. I feel like I'm in jail. But you know what I thank God every damn day that I get to keep her in there. I argue with my doctor to keep her in there. I'm so far Pre E its ridiculous but I'm not seizing and my liver and kidneys are just borderline. I'm making it to 39 weeks(as long as no renal failure) But see I'm thinking of my baby girl. Sure she's had steroids and measures almost 2 weeks ahead. I don't care. Its not her date!!!! I miss my husband,my 3 boys,real food and home!!!! But I'm not doing this for me its for LO. God get over yourself.
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!"?

Castor oil did work for more than one friend of mine......can't wait to see how that comment goes over on here
You know what else castor oil can do for labor induction? It can cause your baby to have its first bowel movement while he/she is still inside you and then baby can suck it into its lungs during birth. Nothing like sending your baby right to NICU and watching it have to go through that ordeal just so you could have him or her early...
Re: Inducing labour naturally
I'll point out that you also didn't have to reply, but you did, so why can you come in like OPs white knight and defend her ridiculousness but we can't point out how dumb and insensitive it is to want a premature baby?
Who is giving negative feedback? We are telling her the remedies don't work and not to do it. She's mad because no one was like "yes!!! You should try all the home remedies you can think of to get your baby out early!!"

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.
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???
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.
If any of these "reasons" are truly important, then these posters should get medically sound advice from their doctors, and if they are legitimate enough, their doctors will induce. But chances are, their doctors won't, so instead, it seems like all of these mothers-to-be are ignoring medical advice and taking matters into their own hands because it's what THEY want, not what's best for the baby. If it were best for the baby, your dr would do it!
To any posters that feel that they have a legit "need" for their babies to come early, ask your doctor. But don't come here complaining about how "mean" they are when they tell you the SAME THING WE ARE.
This is a touchy topic for me.
. Eta I know some doctors are induction happy which is a whole nother topic... I guess the gist of my post is let your dr be the judge of whether your reasoning is valid enough to risk your baby's health.
