I think it is important here to make a point of saying - I have never once, in 6 pregnancies, been seen by or spoken to an Ob. So I am certainly not "Ob bashing". I've never met one.

I was told I was being induced on x day by a midwife. Now, that is not a "normal birth". She just medicalised it - so has a duty to inform me of the associated risks involved with this medical procedure. I never said they need to educate us on normal birth at all. This is a thread about intervention - thus medicalised birth. So yes - that is part of their job be they midwives, obs or GPs. They want to start doing it the medical way, then it is their job to make sure their patient is fully informed.
