oooo I can't really comment on that one Deb It's hard to be an advocate without crossing lines - need more medical know how and background info for that one. Sometimes we just have to let them do their job, but that doesn't mean don't ask questions - always ask more if you're not sure, ask for a second opinion - heard plenty of cases where a registrar in a public hospital wanted to go to caesar, so couple asked to speak to the consultant (you have a right to ask for them) and the consultant said it needn't go to caesar yet.

So you can always ask and not be afraid that they will think you are stupid or annoying. After all, it is your body, your baby and your birth. You have rights.
