Ive been judgemental...
I just want to apologise... because ive been very judgemental on people that "just want the baby out" and have early inductions and beg there doctors for them, and it annoys me so much i just think let the baby grow and 37 weeks is early ect ect and i do still believe that and with out generalizing too much it definitely seems more of an american thing to opt for an early induction...
But i think i understand why now, and i genuinely feel bad, i stopped working this week and im 37weeks 5 days and im so relieved and im looking forward to spending the next couple of weeks resting at home and waiting for my baby to come, but i cant imagine having to work until i drop i honestly couldnt do it and i feel like thats why so many people need the baby to come early because they physically cant carry on working i know i couldnt from now on... if i had to go work this next 2 weeks i think id be crying every day jusy wishing the baby could come.
I wish for your sake and babies sake that america could have better maternity leave in place because I cant imagine having to be at work for the next 2 weeks and it is much better for baby to come when they are ready, but i hadnt really thought about it from a different perspective and its not nice for me to sit here and judge people even if it is only in my head because i dont know everyone's circumstances, and in the uk we have it very good with maternity leave and paid sick during pregnancy.
So really i just wanted to say that im sorry if ive or anyone else that like me that dont understand what you have to go through ever made anyone feel bad about wishing they could just have there baby and that they are being selfish by getting an early induction, Because it isnt your fault and if your government put better policies in place you guys would have such a better time and might actually get to enjoy the last few weeks of pregnancy and get to rest before baby decides to make an appearance, even though im hurting and i ache and want to be able to walk properly again i still get to rest now and im sorry that not everyone gets to do the same.
