From what I have seen Brooke I dont so much see the c/s being pushed on them, but like I spoke to a client a couple of days ago, as soon as they decide you need a c/s in labour, its madness, all systems go and you are left out of any decision making process.

This is soooo true.
When I was in labour with my son, one minute the midwife was telling me I was dilating so well that I would be pushing him out within an hour, and literally 5 minutes later I was being told I would need a c section because he was in severe distress.

When it's thrust on you that quick, out of nowhere - and the monitor next to you is beeping like crazy because your baby's heart rate has fallen through the floor - it is extremely difficult to keep your wits about you and ask the right questions, make sure all other options have been considered etc etc. One minute your having a normal labour and the next BANG. It can all go pear shaped THAT quickly
