This pretty much sums it up - number one, the hospital staff would be held accountable for not informing the ob of the risk and history, and secondly, why on earth didn't she read the history/chart when advising on what to do. I doubt this type of thing is common practise and is a case where there are other circumstances that need to be looked at, not just at the fact that the ob is pro-natural birth.
I know what your saying, but I guess what I'm trying to say is as long as baby and mum are not at risk, a person should not be made to feel like they are putting their child at some sort of immense danger or risk by choosing to have a c-section if that means it is in the best interest of the child. I don't know? I think in the country we live in and in this modern age, women put a lot of pressure on each other and themselves and for what ? Education entails knowing all the facts - meaning we shouldn't just get the worst possible stories about c-sections and then based on this , poo-poo this kind of birth. There are just as many "natural birth" disaster stories that you could google but they never seem to get a mention ?
A healthy baby and a healthy mum are more important than silly statistics that don't have anything to do with the individual circumstances of any particular individual at any given moment.
