hi, im writing this 4 1 of my friends as she cant get on internet at mo.
this could be quite long, sorry.
she had 2 go in2 hospital last week as she started bleeding, they said the baby was fine, but they want 2 induce her at 38 weeks as her baby is 2 small 4 her dates, they're doin constant checks on her, she has 2 go in2 hospital 2moz 4 a check up n then again nxt wed 4 a scan n she has 2 have a placenta scan on 20th.
y would they want 2 induce her at 38 weeks coz the baby is small?
the hospital is bein very secretive n dnt wanna tell her anything, but they must think summins wrong for her 2 be in n out of hospital n 4 them 2 induce her.
she's goin out of her mind with worry n she seems 2 think its summin 2 do with her.
does any1 have any ideas which might help explain y they would wanna do this?
many thanks xx
