Kind of sad

This is my fourth pregnancy and all I wanted to do is experience going into labor on my own, but to make my husband happy I have schedule yet another induction for Monday the 27th. I'm hoping that between now and then he'll make his appearance but I know that won't happen. Sorry kind of venting and a little jealous of anyone that has got to do it on their own

Re: Kind of sad

  • What do you mean you have to induce to make your husband happy?

  • I hate to ask but why does the induction make your husband happy? Is there a medical reason beyond his happiness?

    Is there a medical reason or just because your husband wants you to? If it's just to make your husband happy I would definitely not do it. Either way I'm sorry you're in that position.

    Edit: fat finger problems...
  • Ditto all of the above ^^^^

  • So what's so special about the 27th? Is it his birthday?

    Why would your doctor do a induction without a medical necessity to make your husband happy in the first place. My practice personally only does it if it's medically necessary. Same thing with C-sections. Only if It's necessary. What kind of doctors do some people have? !? Also, why the heck would that make your husband happy? Is he some kind of control freak? Or is this like one of those weird troll posts that was like googly eyes and some hillbilly chick?

  • OP DON'T LEAVE US HANGING COME BACK :-SS
  • Lord, help me.
  • I would really love to hear the explanation on this one...

    If it were my husband, I'd tell him if he wanted to pick our kid's bday, then he could carry the next one for 9 months and push it out of his vagina all the while reinventing how pregnancy and labor is supposed to happen.

  • This post makes no sense.  What Doctor is going to induce his patient "because the husband said so"?

  • I actually don't think this is MUD considering her time at the bump and post history. Which is even scarier.....

    Shockingly, a lot of doctors are signing off on elective inductions to appease patients. The doctor I had with DS straight told me during 2nd tri that he would induce me anytime after 37 weeks. Just to let him know. I quickly switched practices after that...

  • I sadly agree I don't think it's MUD. She wouldn't have posted and not logged back in for 6 hours. I hope she comes back tomorrow to explain the situation more. I'm guessing she has her hands full this evening chasing her kids and husband...

  • My OB gave me the option to be induced any day during my 39th week. I 'told' my husband and he was all up for it and even picked out her delivery date.... Ummm excuse me? Who's delivering this baby? Me! I love you honey but... sit back down and wait until she decides to come on her own. My first came on his own and it was the best 4hr labor I've had minus the contractions of course but it literally felt like I had him in less than 10min from the time I arrived to the hospital.

    Wowser. I just literally can't even imagine my husband TRYING to pick an induction for me, let alone a specific date. I know everyone's relationships are different, but that just seems so inappropriate to me - almost like my husband telling me what brand/type of tampons I am going to use when I have my period, but obviously times a million (not comparing a tampon brand to an induction, just another situation that is really not their concern). So bizarre to me.
  • The only thing I can think of is deployment or a similar situation? So he can meet his baby before he leaves? I know a couple of girls that had scheduled c-sections during their partners ROCL for that reason.. But that was around full term as the guys can sometimes put in a special request for when they are allocated their leave.

    Other than that I'm out of ideas..
    I'm so intrigued now.

    *ROCL is Relief Out of Country Leave, taken mid-deployment (in Australia).

    Why can't you just have the baby when you have the baby, since it sounds like that's what you want? Tell him to simmer down and you'll go when you're ready....since you're the one doing all the work? And it's your body?! And your baby?! And....gah! Etc...etc...

    Ah, the pitfalls of mobile bumping... I couldn't see that. You're probably right then on it not being MUD.
  • Oh believe me, he's not that controlling type. He's just as excited as any other dad and didn't understand the risks that may come with it which he's fully aware of now and is completely fine with waiting until she's ready.
