is it cheating?

[bronny-jane]

when i was being induced with dd3 this one midwife was saying i was impaitent, and that i was just cheating:eek:

i was being induced because of possible problems with the placenta failing after the subchorionic hematoma:(

i was so angry, she was so rude...she said i cheated with my other dd's too.....dd1 was 11 days over dd2 was 9 days over......im sorry but i dont consider induction cheating, and not when theirs a risk to the baby.

it still makes me mad:banghead:

[shed]

yes, well we all know the midwives are little rays of sunshine now don't we?

Not sure how it qualifies as cheating, unless giving birth is a race?

If so, did you win LOL.

[bronny-jane]

i sure did win, she wasnt on duty when i had zoe:smiliedance: :smiliedance: :smiliedance: :D

[Sheer Bliss]

That is just so rude! :shame: There were health reasons for you being induced - so of course you weren't cheating!

I hate to think what she would have said about me then - i was booked for a c-section at 37weeks due to toxemia - that must have been a massive cheat (DD ended up coming early all by herself the week before that though!)

[Mamaduke]

yes, well we all know the midwives are little rays of sunshine now don't we?

:laughing: :yes: :laughing: :yes:

[lukaelmo]

Cheating?

If there is a way to cheat, please let me know RIGHT NOW :D.

[~EmsMum~]

OMG

how rude that she was saying that!!!

did you slap her :D

[Nickster]

Sounds like she is cheating the midwifery profession by being part of it!

Pay no attention to her bronny-jane, it was better for you and Zoe to be safe than sorry - if that was the medical evaluation you had been given, you were best to follow it.

Give her a big cyber-slap, and walk away!

[Pixie]

I was told that too
I said well do you have children? She told me she didn't I told her when you maternity clothes are so tight and you can't find anything to wear your skin on your feet hurts from the pressure, you have been in pre-labour for 3 weeks and are overdue...get back to me

stupid moo

[CandyJane]

I think it depends what she meant by 'cheating' (though it does sound like she was rude to you!). I don't agree with induction because people are impatient, or because perfectly healthy mothers with perfectly healthy babies are 'past their due date', but if there is a good medical reason for induction, then I don't know how that can be cheating? :confused:

[TyBean]

Did the middie have kids??
I'm sorry but whether you are induced or not you still have to push the baby out don't you!!?? and if there is a health risk for mother or baby then as far as I am concerned it isn't cheating.... its extremely important!!
What a horrible middie!!

[bronny-jane]

im not sure if she had kids, she was in her late 30's.
she was rude the whole time to me, i've always had great experiances with midwives so it was a bit of a shock:eek:

[Roopee]

:eek: Cheating?
Hmmm isn't induction supposed to be harder than spontaneous labour????? If so then how were you "cheating". Dont let !d!iots like this get to you BJ. I would have been tempted to slap her too!

It's m/w like this who give the proffession a bad reputation and sounds like she needs to remember that she only has "midwife" attacthed to the end of her title- NOT DR. Sometimes i think some m/w think they are more qualified tha the OB or Dr.:banghead:

[DQ]

Well if induction is cheating, then I've cheated every single time. Shame on me. :rolleyes:

[Foxy]

How pathetic! You have to wonder why some people choose to be in the "care" professions?

Cheating? Well I was induced at 14 days over, if I hadn't cheated he would probably still be in there. :rolleyes:

[pookiesossige]

Cheating?! What a joke. Here I am, just having read all about how induced labours are usually hell on earth compared to a natural, spontaneous labour- far out, my own personal experiences are a prime example!

[Mum&bubs]

What a cow!! Giving birth is not a race and if there was possible problems who cares what the moo says! She OBVIOUSLY hasn't been pregnant before. There's always that one midwife isn't there :rolleyes:

[Blessed Mum]

well I don't know about cheating but I know I didn't really want one with either of mine but needed them to re-start my stalled labours :(

[Shanaynay]

OMG - :eek: What would even possess anyone to say that, let alone THINK that - what a weirdo... and a midwife :laughing: omg!
How pathetic. Don't ever listen to midwives with silly opinions like that!

[jade21887]

Honestly, Im shocked!!! Ive had both an induction and a 'natural' labour. My god, the natural was a heck of a lot easier!!! In no way is getting an induction cheating - especially when its for medical reasons!
