Induction and C/S aren't always bad

I know Obs tend to portray the need for intervention being needed more than it is. This is the reason I questioned this treatment of me when I was pg the first time.
How on earth do we tell when their offered intervention IS NEEDED ?????
How do we know the difference between an over careful doctor and one who has the true best interests of the mother and baby at heart?
I was led to believe most offered intervention is for Dr's convenience so I resisted intervention when I should have accepted it.
How as "lay people" can we know that any offered intervention is not immediately needed?????
I had a better relationship with the OB when I had my DS. Unfortunately because he counselled us about the details of my daughters passing (unexplained stillbirth) he knew me well for the next pregnancy.
He understood my great wish to have a live VB and he worked hard to achieve this.
It didn't happen even with intervention...............
My problem is that my choices WERE supported! If I had been more bullied and not such a strong advocate for myself and what I thought was best for my babies I would be a whole lot BETTER off now!

That's the million dollar question, honey. I wish I had the answers. I'm still terrified of another c/s.
