And he’s not even 48 hours old and she’s taking him amongst a load of germs in public, in February still cold and flu season, for no other reason other than she wants to stretch her legs?! Sod off feebs.
Thank you for this. I’ve been reading this thread feeling like I was terrible for refusing induction and waiting til she came naturally and then hypnobirthing at homeBabies never run out of room. That is so dangerous to say. And having a big baby is no reason to induce, the NICE guidelines (which the nhs follow) state this clearly, UNLESS there is another medical complication that could put mum and baby at risk
this is incorrect. The placenta can work just as well after 42 weeks as it can before, and some studies show the risk of still birth goes down after 42 weeks.
it is very hard to find clinical evidence on the subject as pregnant mothers are never going to be put at risk just to find out.
There have been cases where Women at 37 weeks have had failing placentas. It all depends on the woman’s cycle and the actual gestation of the baby, which is very hard to figure out unless you know exactly what point you conceived
Being 42 weeks pregnant is not a medical reason to be induced
Being induced earlier than both your body and baby are ready can cause a whole host of unnecessary interventions, instrumental delivery and c sections. Which have more risks themselves than simply not inducing
whole heartedly agree with this, every woman is different and so are their cycles, just because one womans body does one thing doesn’t mean the next woman will be the same. and the nhs has the tendency to pigeonhole people into categories simply because it makes their life easier
If you aren't risking you and baby's life, then you don't need it. I needed it because pre-eclampsia could have killed me and the baby.Thank you for this. I’ve been reading this thread feeling like I was terrible for refusing induction and waiting til she came naturally and then hypnobirthing at home
I dare say to a point, an induction is unnecessary especially if baby's life is at risk, they have no idea how your body will take to an induction it could take days, putting the baby and mam at further risk, so in my view if it was a true emergency they would recommend an immediate c sectionIf you aren't risking you and baby's life, then you don't need it.

Don’t feel bad at all! It is your body and your choice, the doctors are there to give their professional opinion, they obviously air on the side of caution as everyone wants the same outcome of healthy baby and healthy mam, but at the end of the day as long as you have done your research and are aware of the risks and are fine with extra monitoring when you do go post dates, it’s completely fine to go over!Thank you for this.

Maybe she means long awaited as in “thank fuck he’s actually here because she’s been pregnant for 543 months”Her stories ... reposted congratulations but the one from Gemma says long awaited baby boy ? Wouldn’t exactly say he was long awaited ? Not a big age gap ? Did she have any losses in between V & this pregnancy ?
Then we have the bath horror - overshare
Pffft and the “this may be controversial, going out when baby is so new” post. Fuck right off - I had two sections and every time I moved I felt like my innards were outwards, yes I had cabin fever and yes I had a toddler too. So fucking smug, look at how wonderful I am.
And then you think you feel slightly better and forget the paracetamol and then remember your insides are falling out of your bodyOh and the second one I was attached to a vacuum dressing thing that I had to tuck into my huge plus size pants for a week and they only prescribe paracetamol when you leave hospital after a section here. I am reeling at her lack of self awareness

Everything is a competition with her, I just can’t bear it. She’s had the best birth ever, left the house earlier than anyone else with a new baby - how is it possible to be that smug all the time?Pffft and the “this may be controversial, going out when baby is so new” post.
