Would my Care provider suggest an un-neccesary induction?

Some moms may wonder why I posted about inductions and the risks and questions to ask, etc.  

Would a care provider suggest something if it is not really medically necessary?  If so, why?

I think that depends a lot on the care provider and this is why I encourage moms in my class to TALK to their care providers about this early in pregnancy, to get a feel at how they practice.  But then beware of the bait and switch! 

Here is a link to a letter from a CNM showing that health of mom and baby are not always top priorty of choices of care providers.   

Talk to your care providers early.  If you don’t like their answers switch.  If they try the bait and switch, talk to them again and remember, it is never too late to switch and you can always say NO!  Educate yourself, don’t just blindly trust your care provider.  You are the Mom, you know what is best for you and your baby.
