Oh for Pete’s Sake, NOW they ask?

Did she want the induction in the first place?

Um, wait until my baby is ready to be born rather than force an early entrance?!

“Send me home, home, home, home home home home HOME
H-O-M-E!!!”

uhhh. . . how ’bout you all WAIT FOR THE BABY TO COME IN HIS/HER OWN DAMN TIME. Just an idea. . . .

At least they asked her instead of telling her the baby was in distress or telling her that her body just won’t dilate and she needs a c-section.

“I want to travel back in time 8 hours and NOT start the induction.”

How about “send me HOME and wait until labor is READY to start”???? Inductions (especially unnecessary, which is most of them) drive me batty.

Poor, poor Mommy!!
I hope they listened to you after they asked (finally!).
And I hope your birth went well.

Ok see Im thinking that with the amt of info here that we have we cant view this as negative at all. It says it was an unneccary induction…….ok there are PLEANTY of women out there who schedule their births for their planning ease, she coulda just meant that, we dont know. This statement is also the kind that you see on the rest of the site as people hoping their doctors will say. This doctor was asking how his patient wanted to proceed. That is wonderful! we have no background at all as to how she got where she was so we cannot at all judge that she was being induced. And frankly its not like they tie you down and force you to be induced. She had already made that decision. so I vote for like for these words

Would it have been better if they just told the mom she would be having a cesarean next? They ask for her input and that’s bad?

I agree with PP who asked why this is a bad thing, that the doc actually asked the mother what she wanted to do. How on earth can that be a bad thing?

Of course, my answer in that situation would also be, “go home and never return unless there is a real medical emergency, and have my labor and birth naturally with a real midwife?”
