Do'nt forget that it's not just the Ob you get - if the midwife wants you to not give birth and your husband agrees then you don't get to give birth. No apologies, just a self-righteous smugness and a joy of telling you that "I knew you'd not do it."

Or maybe I was just crap at the whole birth thing and they did what they did for the best. I'm sick of having that argument with DH. Come on, Obs must know what they're doing and how do we know - yes, it is our body but we have no experience of this. We shouldn't keep second-guessing and pushing for what we want because it isn't good for us or the baby. Just accept it. Less mental trauma at any rate. Maybe I should just accept I can't give birth. It would stop me wanting another baby.
