Re: 42 weeks and still no labour...continuedFrom: MacBump (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 28 Nov 2001 19:42:27 -0600 (CST)
>>The Dr suggests it, and the mom agrees... >Don't assume that the mothers don't play a role here. I know several >women who were all induced at their OWN request because their husbands >travelled for work or their mom was in town to help with the baby who >was not yet here or they didn't want to be in hospital over Christmas. This is why I think Dr's should also be responsable, in part, for INFORMING of the risks of both sides of things. How many women would get an elective induction at 37 or 38 weeks (if there were no medical reason to warrent it) if the MD made a point of telling her the risks? If a woman went into the Dr's office, newly pregnant, and said "I've decided to start smoking"...he'd give her a long speech about how "now's the time to stop" and it's bad for the baby. Why can't we give honest answers about other risks too?
>These are not the decisions I would make but lets not make a global OK, maybe the women you know are well-informed. I know some who are NOT well-informed, and who don't look for information on their own, they rely on the Doc. to tell them what to do. Just tell me and I'll do it. Of course there are all different types of Dr's and all diff. types of pg women. :-) But it's still a good thing to be as informed as possible, which means perhaps making sure the Doc's do a good job of informing and the patients have good access to information too, i.e. libraries, internet, etc.
