Has anyone heard of this (labour related)

There's some hilarity in our house tonight, it's just kinda been one of those days where things seem funny.

So, given that...when daughter told me her friend had been 'chemically removed', that was enough for me and I couldn't stop the grin or swallow the laugh. Daughter is now in fits too but insists she's right and her friend was 'chemically removed' from her Mum during labour.

I thought she was getting mixed up with the baby being induced but apparently no...this was a drug given to 'get the baby to just slide out'.

I told her you 'chemically remove' a wart or some other growth but I've never heard of a baby being chemically removed.

So fellow MSE'rs, has she got confused or have I got some grovelling to do?

Induction using drugs is also known as chemical induction, but at you know, that doesn't mean the baby just slips out

I would imagine that's what she means and it's possible that with a combination of pain relief drugs and faded memory that's how her mother told her she remembers it happening.

If there really were a drug that did that I think we all would have heard of it by now .

Sounds good to me! ((Makes mental note to request chemical induction from midwife as previous induction didn't quite go like that!)) Lol!

Well, I work in a maternity department so I *know* this doesn't exist... but at 25 weeks pregnant I'm still willing to hope! :rotfl:

HA!

Just HA!

*drums fingers on table waiting for her to finish homework so I can lord it* :rotfl:

I didn't think she'd got this right but it's been nearly 14 years since I was in labour and times do change so I thought I just ask before being emphatic.

I do think either her or her pal has got mixed up with being induced

I would be a very popular midwife if I could facilitate babies just slipping out. Not to mention very wealthy when I marketed that potion Perhaps I could follow it up with the snap instantly into size 6 jeans potion :rotfl:

now that would be a money spinner :j

I guess some people say that c sections are easy and the baby "just" gets lifted out. ( having done both I would not choose a section though!)

aliasojo

I was induced with the first two and had a section with daughter so I spoke with some authority on the matter when we were discussing it but she was insistent.

Kids..... gotta love 'em. :rotfl:

Maybe the mother had her labour chemically accelerated? She may have gone into labour, stalled, then had a drip put up to restart/intensify the contractions, thereby allowing the baby to, em, slide out?

Whaddaya waiting for? Bit late for me for the "babies just slipping out", but I'd be interested into the "snap instantly" potion!
