My pregnancy group has been talking a lot about inductions and c-sections lately, and it's driving me up the wall. At least one of the inductions is purely for convenience, and while I understand that it's nice to have childcare lined up for older kids, it still bugs me.
And I saw a post in another group tonight that's driving me up the fucking wall. Someone was induced at 38 weeks (no apparent medical reason, just because baby was big) and her baby was 9 lbs. 15 oz. And of course, along with that announcement came the "Good thing her doctor didn't let her go to her due date!" Because heaven knows, once a baby gets to 10 lbs. there's just no way they can be born vaginally. *cough*bullshit*cough*
For crying out loud. I'm sure if his lungs hadn't been fully developed and he was in the NICU, there would be no "Good thing her doctor induced early!" Actually, though, I'm sure there would have been some spin about how thank goodness they got him out when they did or he might have DIED. Hooray for doctors that stick their noses in where they don't belong!
You know what? I kind of hope our munchkin weighs 11 lbs. Because I want to push him out and tell everyone to kiss my ass. Then breastfeed him exclusively, and again tell everyone to kiss my ass. Because I would just be a goddamn medical miracle on BOLU!
Then again, I have some cute newborn-size stuff that an 11 lb. baby won't fit into, so 8 lbs. is fine, too. LOL
