Thats awesome babyluv.

I think women get siderailed into it too, no matter how much they feel the care provider is on their side or what wishes they put forth. And for many of us, we cant compare state/opinion right now to the state where they're putting it to you during an exhausting and stressful labour, not knowing whats going on or making a judgment when your mind is trying to do what its meant to do - birth and let go.

There are also very, very minimal Obs who will take on breech women or other births classed as high risk. Many have 'their rules' if you want a chance at a normal birth.

Public too, a client of mine had to be induced for a medical condition. Mind you they booked her in AFTER the long weekend, then once the waters were broken and it was taking time to establish, they played the 'we induced you so you dont end up with a dead baby' card, and commenced filling the room with hcp after hcp trying to get this woman to ramp it up on the drip with no signs of problems. AFTER the long weekend. Real life threatening, clearly.

What is said and what is done can end up being totally different.
