Neither in my opinion. Maybe it's because I was induced at 39 weeks and 4 days.

No...

Coming from a person who didnt have a choice in breastfeeding her youngest. And my milk didnt come in for my oldest.

I dont see CIO selfish, unless you do it right...

But breast is best and CIO even done correctly can ve damaging to a child. Those are selfish choices out of convenience to the parent, not what's be st for the child.

I must be selfish then. I do a lot I things I know are best for my children, but sometimes, I have to do what's right at that moment...3 screming kids,something's gotta give.

I think induction. Because you chose to have the child, to keep that child safe and care for him/her ... But are then going to risk their health for no really good reason? Not cool.

That said, I personally wouldn't do either so I can't give a real opinion on it.

ABORTION IS ONE WHERE I FEEL THAT IT IS ALMOST always SELFISH.... for one, if the baby is not wanted.. you are still being selfish because the baby didnt force you to lay down and get pregnant...
in the case of rape.. i understand the parent not wanting the baby to grow up knowing they are a baby made from rape... then adoption and they never have to know who their father is, for other reasons like you not wanting to look at your rapists kid, welp ADOPTION

or people who dont have the resources to take care of the child (didnt you know this before you got pregnant)

for birth control babies ( squeeze me but ... ADOPTION)
for babies who may be deformed , mutated or have mental disabilities (their are plent of people who would kill to have ANY child, and hate the thought of people who kill because they dont want one)

maybe im not a very sensitive person but i will always think of abortion as taking a life...

induction to me , can someimes be excused

I guess.you are too. At some point I think we ALL are which is why I think it's crazy to beat someone down for getting an abortion or getting.induced.

ohhh.. crying it out. Lol

when the child is old enough and doing it purely for thrills and attention, I would opt to let them cry it the hell out. My 2 year niece sat and screamed every time I left her bedroom because she didn't want to take her nap and nothing was wrong at all. She kept crying because she wanted me to come give her attention and she was so used to crying so mom and dad would come in and distract her from napping.. NO. Sorry. Cry yourself to sleep.
But when it's a baby, you could really damage a baby's trust and security as a parent or caregiver. IMO

Lol a bit blunter than I would've said it, but I mostly agree with that.
I just can't judge someone for it because I don't think anyone ever wants to have an abortion. No woman is stoked about it, but yes, I have to admit since having my DD, I see abortion as selfish. Adoption is selfLESS IMO.

I wouldn't beat on anyone getting induced or getting an abortion. With the induction I would ask why out of curiosity and then be like "Oh ok". I ay think it's stupid but it's their choice in the end.
