I was induced but no one thought anything of it... well I had a medical reason so [hopefully] no judgment there. </p> <p>Anyhow I wouldn't worry about it - it's your birth, your dr, your decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301640 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:05:19 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 301640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're fine...if people ask, you can say any story you want to say and any amount of detail. I doubt people will care by the way, and they have no right to question your choice or your OB's decision! I think everyone will be goo-goo-ga-ga over baby.<br /> If I were induced, I'd personally not say anything either and if people asked i'd give them minimal detail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301630 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:48:14 +0000 mrsmenow 301630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think you are way over thinking it. Once baby is here and healthy I don't think most people give it much thought at all. If you are telling the birth story I would tell people the truth:)</p> <p>Good luck, can't wait to hear how it goes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301626 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:36:58 +0000 GrapeCrush 301626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i agree with what @Baby Boy Mom: says. most people as me a general 'how was it?' and then i can choose(and i normally do, i'm not secret about the fact that i had an induction) to tell them as much or as little as i want. if i know them better i usually tell all the deets(induction, funky heart rate, c-section). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301603 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:10:29 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 301603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people that have asked me were very general like "how was the birth?" which gives me the option to insert as many details as I feel I want to share with that person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301569 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:40:29 +0000 Weagle 301569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's pretty common among our friends to share birth stories, and an induction is nothing to hide. People may ask why, but usually it's out of concern. I don't see any reason to keep it from people, but I'm also an over-sharer :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301565 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:32:05 +0000 blackbird 301565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have never ever asked for details like this from my friend. Who would ask this? Probably only a person who is getting ready to have a baby :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301562 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:30:32 +0000 tororojo 301562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think many people will ask for birth details...maybe I'm naive? All I know is that I've never asked anyone for that kind of info! It seems private. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301555 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:19:32 +0000 singingbee 301555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it was me, I wouldn't worry about it. It's a decision between you and your husband and doctor. Next time we are pregnant, we will do whatever to get that baby out alive. If my doctor says induce, I'll say when. But, that's just my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-tell-people-that-you-were-induced#post-301544 Wed, 19 Sep 2012 16:08:18 +0000 MusicaV 301544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>As my scheduled induction draws near (1 hour, but who's counting?), I'm now thinking about what to say if/when people ask about the birth of Baby V. I've only told my mom that I'm scheduled to be induced, and I asked her not to tell anybody.</p> <p>I'm worried that some nosy people will ask about the birth. I'm a few days shy of my due date. I'm concerned that people will question my OB's decision to induce me early. I'm hoping, if it comes up, that I can get away with, "I went in to get checked, and they decided to keep me there." Did you get questioned about how your LO's birth got started, or am I overthinking this? </p>
