As a mother who, on the 21st Dec 01, gave birth to stillborn triplet boys, I can't BELIEVE any doctor who would FORCE a grieving mother to go home and wait for labour to begin!!!! My scenario: the babies died on Wednesday. I was given the option of waiting for labour to start on it's own or being induced, at my say of time span but preferably sooner rather than later. obgyn advised thurs morning, so that's when I did it. i stayed in hospital the night before. the only reason I was given the option of waiting for labour to start naturlaly was I had gone into premature labour the monday before but it was stopped by drugs. The dr shouldn't push either way but should give honest facts about the reality of waiting too long - which is that the baby won't look like a baby if it is left in too long. Mine were dead in utero just 24 hours but already had _some_ skin slippage. Left a couple of weeks, they kind of shrink, lose their shape, head isn't so round etc. Sorry to be graphic but that is the medical facts. Your sister should be told this. The sooner she has the baby, the more it will look like a baby and the more happy memories she will have. Please, as a mother who understands, I pray your sister has an induction asap. I pray you can also give the baby a good funeral, and that your sister has the opportunity to hold, dress, photograph and take photos of the baby. These are things which are hard to get your head around at a time like this but are essential to a good grieving process. Please post if you need more assistance, I can absolutely (try to) help. If you like, I could give out my email address to you in this time.
