Induced Labor? Really?

BTW, pm, your "selected to die" scenario is actually quite opposite.

If one wishes to find reasons for the burgeoning cost of healthcare, it's largely due to successful prevention and treatment for major killers like heart attacks, strokes, and cancer.

We don't die so early anymore, and live long enough to get Alzheimer's, further burdening the system.

Man, when I saw your name I was about to be scolded. All the same, I was joking about the golf crack.

I know what you mean about the quality of life when you live long enough to get Alteimers.

I have never had a tatoo. But if I reach the age of 80 I am going to get one. It will have ny name, address, and wife's phone number.

That way, even if I'm wandering around buck naked with alteimers, they will still be able to get me home.

I haven't had to worry about childbirth for a long time but I never thought it would ne something to be "out of the loop" about.

Apparently, medical technology allows for doctors to use medication that induces labor. Women are now given appointments to have their babies.

I'm getting old and old people always complain about how the world has changed for the worse, so far be for me to screw with tradition.

Now we have doctors that don't want something as insignificant as a birth to mess up their morning golf game or evening at the playhouse.

And what does it say about our society that the very first experience in life is forcible eviction? I mean, it's like a county sherrif knocking on the ****** door.....

"Okay, everyone out! Right now!. I'll let you take one pound of placenta with you but everything else stays!"

What os next?

You crack me up every time you reply like that

Yes, typically, labor is only induced if the Mother has gone passed her due date or if there are medical reasons that make it a necessity.

Yep, daughter was induced to get my grandson outta there! LOL!

She was still in labor for 28 hours.


This [ ] close to having a C-section.

If I was a woman, I might look into the convenience of having another woman carry the kid to term. That's an option modern medicine has given us.

In fact if I was really rich with a hot young wife I might go with that option...

I mean people once lived in caves, mud huts and tents but I'm going to opt for AC and a brick house.
