i might be naive having not been there before - but i continue to struggle with how the medical profession see a NEED to medicalise and control birth!!! it's supposed to be a NATURAL part of life ffs!! yes, there are times when there genuinely needs to be intervention - but it's not as common as it's made out to be - and the fact that they poo poo VBAC, but don't do the same with induction (when, from what i've read, the risks are just as high, if not higher, for something to go wrong...) - it annoys me. most of us, particular first time parents - have NO real idea (well, we wouldn't without BB!!) - and we're being led astray because we have faith that medico's would do the right thing by US, not by their schedule and their hip pocket!


Kel - just want to say it again - thanks for BB - the support and information here is amazing - and i'm sure there are a lot of other people out there like me that would have blind faith in what we're being told - you encourage us to think outside our comfort zones, to question the "establishment" - it's a credit to you and the hard work you've put in! thanks hun!
