I think people come to the forums already defensive of their decisions, and that can make it easier to see 'judgement' in other peoples posts if mention is made that there are greater risks etc. I've never seen anyone being personally told they've done the wrong thing.. everyone has their own reasons for their decisions, often unknown to the rest of us, but people do take things personally thinking they're being called a bad mother or something. And really, I haven't seen that at all.

Did that make sense? I've never felt looked down on for having the augmentation in my labour.. I've learned that I could probably have avoided it, and that there was risk in having it, but have never taken it personally when inductions are spoken about as risky etc. And I'm reading the same posts as everyone else I'm sure
