There is a interesting comment in today's paper - under the headline "Why risk your baby?" (Hope she didn't read that before she went in for her inducment ) that Adam Gilchrist's son suffered complications after being deprived of oxygen after being induced for the Boxing Day test. He says now "Looking back it seems stupid that I put myself into that position.I should of just walked away from cricket for the critical week or weeks, or however long it took".
I guess when you are in the moment, and you may feel pressure from your club/boss/workplace, you don't consider the risks. Without knowing the facts, I would make the judgement that their doctor is partly to blame. Has he/she layed out every potential risk for them? Maybe he has and they are still ok with that..

I hope it all turns out well for them - the fact that they may spend the first few weeks of their babies life copping a backlash from the media/public is sad. I'm not saying whether I agree with their decision or not - it is their choice and they will have to cope with the consequences, I guess.
