Oh my God - that is so incredibly sad - and wrong . This is the exact thing Obs are criticised for - putting 'convenience' before the health and safety of mother and baby. It simply should not have been approved without the presence of a serious medical complication to justify it.
Besides - the Bulldogs may not even make the semi-final or the grand-final - can't they at least hold off until closer to the due date to see what the club's outcomes are??
The article claims they will be inducing the labour on a Wednesday 2 weeks early- then why not at least postpone the induction for a Wednesday 2 weeks later when the baby is actually due? Even 1 week early would be better than 2, geez..... the longer that poor little bub is in her mother's womb, the safer her entrance into this world will be and the better she will be able to cope with the demands of labour.
No doubt the poor thing will become distressed from the sudden influx of synthetic drugs and the lack of respect for mother nature's wisdom, and will end up arriving the unconventional way.... not that that will bother the Ob (), but it will not be nice for mother and baby.....

Someone do her a favour and send her a copy of Henci Goer's book - The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth. The poor love is so uninformed and unempowered!!
