Why would anyone have a baby induced for a football match. Stuff that. I think she's completely mad and took all leave of her senses.

I personally think the doctor had 98% to do with it. I cant believe a doctor would allow that to happen just because of a game, unless he/she wanted to watch the game as well.

Oh my, I feel for ya somenewromantic!
I was two weeks late as well and had to be induced. It was no picnic, but I did get an an epidural as well; so it was tolerable.
At least the lady was already close to her due date. I would have more of a problem with it if she wanted to do it too early or something.

I got lucky. Well, almost. With my first two I was induced. My first was five hours, my second was three hours. Now with mike, it was seven hours and a cord around his neck. He should have been a c section. I still don't understand their stupidity to this day. I just hope that the problems he has now aren't from the fact that they refused to c section him.
I don't think any baby should be induced unless it's a necesity. Same goes for the idiots that go for a c section without warrant.

People who put football above the birth of their child shouldn't be having children. PERIOD!

Oh my, I feel for ya somenewromantic! I was two weeks late as well and had to be induced. It was no picnic, but I did get an an epidural as well; so it was tolerable. At least the lady was already close to her due date. I would have more of a problem with it if she wanted to do it too early or something. My son was my first.....I was in labor with him for 23 hours after I was induced, and the experience was pretty frightening, but looking back, there was an element of humor to it. What I didn't know until I was pregnant with my youngest is that the medication that I take for mitral-valve prolapse (a pretty common and non-life threatening heart condition, as far as heart conditions go) is in the same class of drugs that doctors use to stop labor in women who go into pre-term labor. With mitral valve prolapse, without the proper medications, a person can have episodes of PSVT (paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia) which means I've been to the ER with a pulse of over 200 more than once. I had an episode in labor with my son. I remember I was hooked up to all kinds of monitors for the baby--and then my heart fired off so that the telemetry machines monitoring me went nuts--here came a bunch of the OB :s (with a crash cart no less) and then my obstetrician, who paged someone from the :ry (these were the days before NICU's) and cardiology. I don't remember them doing it, but I had an EKG--I found it in my medical records taken the day Christopher was born. I am assuming they did it immediately after giving me a shot of adenosine--because I definitely remember someone telling the : to draw it up--and adenosine can sometimes cause a person to temporarily lose consciousness (very temporarily), but when I came back around, I remember the obstetrician (surrounded by about four other docs) saying something about getting me down to the OR. And me sitting straight up and saying, "NO!!.......Mom, tell them I don't want a C-section........" (And my mother telling me to shut up, or she'd knock some sense into me, in labor or not.) But I kept on begging, and the doctor, seeing as I was already fully dilated, agreed to let me try it on my own, but telling me that if it happened again, that I'd be in the OR in the following two minutes. Christopher came along two hours later (the boy has been taking his sweet time ever since, LOL!!). While my girls were induced, the doctors, having read the records on Christopher, dropped the amount of Pitocin I was given (it can up your heart rate, hello?) and while they were long labors, we didn't have any drama. |

Being induced for the right medical reasons is one thing but I don't think I would breed with someone that would even think about doing it for football. Have they never heard of DVR?
