It's all in the way you look at it.

I was just reading more on the puke forum (OBGYN.net). And I thought of something.

Why do the not use the correct terminology? Here is my logic.

Woman goes to hospital, labor no where ready to go (either scheduled induction or someone who jumps at the first couple of contractions) but the clock is started, the OB's start the induction pathway... Pit, AROM, more PIT, etc...

And then the "labor stalls"

Here is the part that kills me. This is labeled failure to progress. But is it really? Should it not be labeled what it really is? Failure to induce to delivery?

The OB's make us feel like it is our bodies that fail us.. Yet you can turn that around and say it is their intervention that failed to work. THEY FAILED! I can just see the "no, not me, not Dr. GOD. Oh no, I did everything by the book"


Just my grumbling on how it is all how you look at it. Did my body fail, or did Medicine fail?
