Guest guest Posted May 12, 1999 Report Share Posted May 12, 1999 , Health statistics usually do a lot to sway people. Good advice. Wendi Re: about my delivery.... What great news, Debbie! About the " throwing you into labor " comments, maybe giving one back would work... ask if she would feel horrible or responsible if she caused the baby to be born too soon. You know... she says, " You need to walk to start labor. " " Wouldn't you just feel awful/responsible if it worked and the baby was born too early without the maturity of lung function that comes in the last weeks of pregnancy? " or " I sure wouldn't want to rush the important development of the last weeks of pregnancy for the sake of convenience. They add extra fat in the last weeks to regulate body temps, their lungs finish maturing in the last two weeks, and the vernix coating added the last few weeks helps them be born! Why risk it?
