The usual doubt/guilt etc does come in if you aren't sure about your decisions because you would think the experts know what they are talking about and you start doubting yourself and want the ultimate best for your baby and can end up feeling a bit powerless or confused.
Totally agree with that.

I have to admit, I had wonderful midwives, they never, ever, pushed me to do something I didnt want to do. The decisions I made I felt were respected and followed. Everything was explained to me perfectly, and I was happy. This actually surprised me, coz I was 18 when I gave birth, I thought they would have over looked me a little bit, being so young and "uninformed" (little did they know I was a member of a great, informative forum called BellyBelly).
The only issues I had was my after care and the fact I was out the hosp within 24 hours.

I do think its sickening that it seems a LOT of midwives, OB's, GP's etc are using scare tactics and pretty much making the decision for the mother, when really, mother knows best...I think all they are entitled to do is inform us of everything we need to know, so that WE can make our own decision. When things litereally become life-threatening, then its in their hands, but while things are still perfect and ok, then we should be able to do what WE choose to.
