I am not pregnant, but I spoke to a friend yesterday and found out that his wife is expecting their first child. I was soooo excited for them. She is due today.......He did say that they really didnt want a Christmas baby and didnt want to be in hospital over Christmas and I just laughed it off remembering I went through exactly the same thing with my first baby (he was due xmas day).

Anyway, he was on msn this morning and I see he has written up that they are having their baby tommorrow. I got all excited thinking she was in labour.....

I asked him how she was going and he said that she was booked in for a c-section tommorrow morning!! WHAT THE!!??? I said WHY!???. And he said because the obsterician said her body 'wasnt responding', her cervix wasn't dialating and nothing seemed to be happening. I said, but she is only 'due' today???. I went two weeks over with my first bubba....

I tried to explain everything to them how a c-section HURTS LIKE HELL (been there done that) and he said that his wife would only need to be induced which would most likely end up in an emergency csection anyway so they would rather do it under "non emergency situation"!!. I said noooooooooooo !!

Ive tried in vain to explain everything to him but he got a bit cranky with me and said they knew what they were doing.....im just lost for words....how can an obsetrician let a couple who are having their first baby, elect for a cesear because things aren't going as fast as they want and because they dont want to be in hospital over xmas!!! Would she really rather have xmas lying in bed in pain!????

Sorry really had to vent that....im furious!
