I wish there was an easy way - I really do. I am a "high risk" as a grand multi, and their policies drive me bonkers at times. But I drive them back because "hospital policy" wont fly with me. It may be their policy, but its my body.

Best thing you can do is keep your clients informed. We could find out what some of these poilicies are and write up some quick faq one page flyers to keep and print out when they are needed so you can give them a brief overview of what it is about, and they can choose to look a little deeper into the situation. I would hate to be in your shoes and watching a mother go in for a completely unneccesary c-section because of a ridiculous archaic policy.

Truly, the most valuable weapon in a pregnant womans arsenal these days is our right to say no. We just need to be informed enough to know when to.
