Father: No, they said you had to, didn't they make you an appointment for the induction?
Mother: No, no, no, I did - up until - no, no, no, that was at, from the Monday to the Thursday I had to go back every day for tests. They monitored the baby for movements, and his heart and movements. And they didn't do scans every time, they just monitored his heart and movement, and took blood samples every time. And then on the Thursday which was basically a week after they'd discovered the cholestasis, they decided that they would induce him on the Saturday, but as it happened I went into labour on the Thursday, so I had him two weeks early. But I'd known then that he would be induced because they said that, they, it was that awful, they were saying they would rather wait for a - that was, you're right, that was the worst thing was that they said, "Oh, well, we'll wait till thirty eight weeks and then we'll induce him at thirty eighty weeks," and it was like, “Why another week? What difference is a week going to make? He's fine now, let me just have him, and he's fine." But he was obviously then ready a week later and so out he came. |
