Youve made good points Kelly, I must say my labour was pretty intense (not that I had comparison) and given the option it would have been nice to go on my own. This time round it looks like I just might but with the way things are progressing I will have to make the choice to induce to ensure we both come through this ok if I get close to term. Ive come to terms with the fact that going natural is not the way mother nature intended for my birthings to be but I still have awesome ones anyway!
That said I think alot of the problems have to do with a) people taking the word of an OB as gospel and not being informed enough themselves and b) not choosing the right OB for them. Both my OBs have been fantastic and I cant recommend or thank them enough, it feels weird to me that people are so anti-OB. Guess Ive gotten lucky!
I wish I could see that documentary, even though I have medical, intervened births I agree with what theyre doing and am all for it! It sucks being in the country, always miss out on everything. Do you know if theyre releasing it on DVD at all?
