You hear “stories” of OB’s who really think everyone should have a Cesarean. Really ask your OB what they think about birth. Their attitudes can have a major impact on the interventions you get.
It is fascinating to read this story of an intern and the interaction with the supervising OB during a birth. To see how this mom’s birth was being railroaded into so many interventions… not because of the safety of mom and baby, just because the OB wanted it that way.
The routines and attitudes of your care providers are important to know.
Oh how weird! I was just pouring over that blog last night. I love it.
Love YOUR blog, btw. =)
