Bloody ridiculous.

Ive been induced twice; both more than 2wks early for medical reasons and believe me we got mightly lucky the boys came out happy and healthy. Just because 37wks is "considered" term doesnt mean that your baby will be born happy and healthy like a 40wk-er. Different people have different baking times; my 37wker was fine but someone else's might be born with breathing issues. I think its highly irresponsible to induce because of FOOTBALL, its beyond sad.

Induction because your husband is heading off to a war zone with last minute notification - I can understand that. For a football game or any other reason bar impending doom or medical neccesity? Nope. If my husband didnt make it to the birth Id be sad but thems the brakes. He'd try is darned hardest to be there though unless it was absolutely not able to happen.
