    Carley - if the majority of OB's were like yours, we'd be having a VERY different conversation right now I do know OB's like this exist, and they are like gold, aren't they? It's a shame that the majority place themselves above the woman instead of with the woman (as midwives do, by definition!).
    ETA:Wow, Tuckers Daughter, you really are missing the point with midwives - I don't know any (and I know a few!) who would EVER want to be, or believe they are 'in control' of the birth process. None in the midwifery-led model in continuity of care, at the very least. I don't know any midwife who is that arrogant.
