Aibu to ask you to pray for my 42 year old friend & her c-section

[JingleBellez]

An old friend of mine is due to have a C-section. I'm really worried for her and her baby.

Would it be ok to ask you to pray for her and her daughter?

She's one of the kindest people. She works helping vulnerable adults find stable homes/furniture and teach them basic lifeskills.

Have a peaceful Christmas x

Why are you scared?

Is there a particular reason why you're worried?

The baby has some issues from what she said x The c-section was offered to help. I didn't want to pry as she didn't state what.

Prayer said as requested.
Hope all goes well

I don’t believe in the power of prayer, but I wish your friend and her baby all the best

Not at all unreasonable, I hope it all goes well for your friend and her baby. Please keep us posted!

Thanks Elieza, and Iamanicepersonreally.

I'm probably worrying over nothing. She said the drs weren't kind over her age.

I'm sure the baba and her Mama will be fine.

Same here, not religious but wishing your friend and her baby the best xxx

Thank you. I'm probably worrying over nothing.

Sending a little prayer for a safe delivery for mummy and baby. Please let us know how it goes

They're in my prayers. May the Lord hold them in His light and bring them both safely through this ordeal.

The last friend I worried about had a stillborn baba. The vicar did a thoughtful and sympathetic funeral. She's laid to rest in a lovely part of the churchyard. I think that friend's loss has me a little scared for others.

Thank you MrsColon and Georgeskitchen for your prayers @MrsColon @Elieza @

Please watch over and protect them both Lord. Amen.

Prayers sent and sending love to you x

Thank you xx

I'm saying a prayer for them both x

She said the drs weren't kind over her age

What did they say to her?

She said the drs weren't kind over her age

Why were they unkind?

I'll say a little prayer as well. Childbirth is an ordeal at any age. I had a c-section at 42 as I had severe pre-eclampsia.

Would so love to lay a curse on those doctors who were unkind about your friend's age. How rude, and completely unnecessary. Just shut up and do your best for your patient, ye gits.

I will add your friend to my prayers

why are so many voting YABU?

I wish your friend well. There's no reason to worry about the section at all, and her age isn't relevant. Hopefully there won't be any significant issues with the baby.

I'm interested in the comment about doctors not being kind about her age. What did they say exactly? They may have commented on her age in the sense that she is an older mother & therefore it's important to factor that into decision-making. That would be more factual than unkind?

why are so many voting YABU?

I am guessing its because if I was that mum I wouldn't want my private life splashed over an open forum and certainly wouldn't want random strangers updated

I had a c section (my third!) at 42. It was absolutely fine. No different to the ones I had aged 25 and 28. Absent any complicating factors, there really is nothing to worry about.

Some people might see threads like this as attention seeking by proxy, maybe.
