I still think alot of it stems back to couples not being informed enough and not trusting their decisions/wants I also think that alot of the booklets and info that mothers are given at hospitals is full of crud. The only stuff Ive seen that was a worthwhile informative read was the info my midwife gave me the other day.
Im sure there are a ton of bully OBs, Im just lucky enough to have had 2 fabulous ones. Im also super lucky that my DH is a facts based person so he does his research before making decisions, including the joint ones we made about our kids and their births. He would not hesitate to stand up to a Dr but thankfully he's never needed too.
ETA - just on the aspiration of bub's airways, I can understand their need to do it after a csection but I was under the assumption that being birthed vaginally helped to push the mucous off the airways of the baby? Hence why they come out breathing and crying? Or have I got it wrong.
