Hi Krista D
I think you made a viable point .....but comparing "natural" labor and inductions is like comparing the safety of automobiles and airplanes.
More people are killed in and by cars but that does not stop most people from driving them Planes have fewer accidents but when they do they are more scary and involve more people at once.
Childbirth used to have higher mortalities in the past for many reasons, this was before all the technology. The mortality is now much lower, but what is there is often due to higher complexity patients.
The fact that his wife is on a blood thinner...I do not know what the reason is....this alone puts her in a very high risk category..
She is not in a natural state herself...she is about to face one of the biggest hematologic challenges a woman faces.... I am glad that God had provided mankind with more knowldge about the control of clotting. I am also very hopeful that God has provided this couple with a competent team for their delivery. We will all be praying for them here.
I agree with you about information you can never have enough.
One good thing "elective inductions" have been decreasing dramatically for many reasons, and this is a good thing. They are not a 'good thing'.
Medical inductions are another category and they too are used only as needed. I know when I had to do them, I was always between a rock and a hard placel...if they failed I had to do a C/S, If I did the C/S then everyone thought I was knife happy.
All I know is that I discussed things with my patients and I discussed the options and let them make the final decision. Some want to try labor and some do not.
Women may be the weaker vessel but we are better suited to handle all this stuff then the men are. ;D Most men do not even get yearly physicals. :P

I am a Ob Gyn physician , in your case it does sound like an induction would be the best choice, if on a blood thinner planning would be better, this would give one time so the blood thinning could be reversed...you do not want this in full effect during the birthing process if you can help it planning is always better. It is a luxory in Obstetrics.

This is what I was trying to say and don't worry, you couldn't offend me if you tried your best. However, this is a thread dedicated to good news...excuse me, Great news! There is no need for worry, we've done all the research necessary and taken whatever precautions that were available to us. We don't live in fear of the future, but your comments are welcome because we're all friends here and I know you're just looking out for our best interest.

UncleBeau:
I haven't mentioned it in a while, but we appreciate all of the comments and prayers concerning the birth of our first child. Words will do their best to describe the love and attention that a sum of you have shown on this subject. I just noticed how many people are reading this thread and it almost seems like a small journal that we've kept in remembrance to the production of the symbolism that must come about concerning Christ and the church; and those that are brought here through fellowship and scholarship alike can see that the most precious of things not only take time and patience, but will strengthen your spiritual house. She won't only be a student of the Word of God, she will also have a chance to be an observer of those with like minds in the things of God. She will learn, she will rebel, she will embrace the world, she will fall, she will repent and she will find salvation....and Daddy will be proud....and so will I.
