In SD, is it legal for docs to deny your wishes for an early induction at 39 weeks if there is no medical reason? I know they try to advise against it, but can they flat out deny it? Its full term so isnt it your choice? 😓
well i know that in 2013(i think) there was a law passed that they cant induce earlier than 39 weeks if there isnt medical reason, but it didnt specify anything after that.. and since im a high risk pregnancy and had to have my baby flipped into the right position instead of breech, its just been making me super stressed out and anxious. And ive been stuck at 3cm dil and 80% eff for 3 weeks now, with baby girl causing me excruciating pain in my abdomen, but my doc wont listen to anything i say about it! i almost faint sometimes too if shes in the wrong position, but they dont consider that 'medical reason' which is why i was wondering if i can just choose to be induced. :(

They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
