Just like to point out that they're not all bad, I went into a public hospital with little knowledge and no doula and my midwife, nurse and dr (yes, I said DR!) we're incredibly helpful and encouraging of a natural birth in every way. The fact that it was 9pm new yrs eve and very busy in the hospital when I arrived and I was still labouring by midday new yrs day didn't change the flawless care I was given.
Drs and nurses in aus wouldn't go through the yrs of study and training with little to no income if they weren't actually there to help...
