If she's due this week, they should induce her, that's what they typically do. High risk pregnancies are commonly induced early with little risk of doing so. If they aren't, it may be capacity bullshit. Push back and ask for an immediate induction.
Came to ask why she isn't in the delivery suite right now.
She’s at an her appointment now. She has a midwife and supposedly they don’t like involving medical procedures. She wanted to wait for natural labor. I explained to her preeclampsia isn’t anything to risk.
No, and the midwife ought to know that. Eclampsia is one of the top maternal killers.
My friend had it happened very suddenly. They did an emergency c sections but she still developed severe preeclampsia. Don’t mess around with this, it can go from mild to severe very quickly and can threaten both her and the baby’s lives.
midwife almost killed my daughter and grandson. let it go too long.
PRAYERS to you that your daughter is cared for by sensible medical staff and that she and baby come through just fine. and in this process, she hopefully recognizes the truth of things.
Yes I’m hoping the midwife recommends she be induced today.
Just like the shot and med companies… does this mid wife have any responsibility if this goes sideways?
I know. I agree.
There are lay midwives, licensed midwives, Masters prepared midwives, NP midwives--it all depends on the state, and generally more preparation means more responsibility.
