Ok here's another random thought leading on from Jasp's post.
What if your DP does all the reading, research and talking to people.... and comes to conclusions about his birth prefences which are vastly (or somewhat) different to yours.
For example, he decides that his reading indicates that the risk of going more than 41weeks post dates are more than any risks associated with induction or c/section and that he will not support waiting.
Or what if he reads 10 stories about babies who've had bad outcomes after experiencing foetal distress and therefore he determines that a rapid c/s is far more important to him than waiting or asking more questions about the reliability of the monitoring trace.
Would we then say 'bad luck - my body, my choice?'. Is that really fair?
