BG, No one has ever said that anyone should ignore medical advice relating to a medical condition which would indicate that an induction or c/s would be necessary. It's fair enough if a woman has very high BP or even pe that she accept an induction or c/s based on her own situation and everyone understands that sometimes intervention is necessary, but don't loose sight of the ORIGINAL POST, which IMO is a fair enough vent. There is far too much intervention for completely unnecessary or vague reasons and this is what RoryRory was trying to highlight. Big Babies at 30wks? Pffft to that! Even with not knowing the previous history of the person in the OP, it is far too early to put that kind of pressure and worry on a woman when it may not be necessary. And what do you think that woman is going to spend her last few weeks of pregnancy thinking about? Bloody big babies that wont fit And it's not just Obs that perpetrate it - it can be any pregnancy care provider. Just as many women have the **** scared out of them about big babies by midwives too.
