Should c/s rates be published? Naming & shaming...

[maz]

Girls, for those of you who think you can fight, refuse or talk your way out of surgery... you can't. Sorry to sound defeatist but BTDT and it really makes me cry to think other people believe that anyone cares about you when you're giving birth. They don't.

I swear no one ever reads past posts...and it was just 3 post before yours!!!

My friend who had the c/s booked for her for tomorrow gave birth to a beautiful little boy at 7.05 this morning, via VBAC. If you have a voice...us it!! Dont think cause a DR or Ob has a degree they are necessary right. Listen to to your body and believe in yourself!!!! [QUOTE/]

She talked her way out and went against what they said and look what happened! She got her VBAC and a labour of only 5 hours too! THIER WORD IS NOT GOSPIL!!!!

RH - the midwife you had should have been slapped in the face!!! How dare she make you feel this way! It totally infuriates me the lack of sympathy and RESPECT any mother gets in hospitals after doing the most beautiful thing in the world...having a baby is one of the most complicated yet selfless acta a woman can do and no matter which way the out come of birth is...a woman should be made to feel like royaltiy.
