Kelly, that's cool, I know the point you were trying to make
But I think my case is a good one for how intervention can lead to intervention. I was 9cm dialated when I got to hospital at 3am (laboured for about 6 hours at home) and Flynn wasn't born till 9am. Oxytocin was administered cause I was buggered by that stage, and syntocin because placenta was in 2 halves, and epi cause OB was an OB and had me hold my breath and push. All the while DH and I knew that things were not "right" and didn't have to be that way but once you are in "their" world, you play by "their" rules, IYKWIM.

But my parting words to my OB were - "Great job - healthy baby. Now, you don't do home births, do you?" PML!!!
