Isn't it great to see women feeling like they can take charge again? For ages we were told not to 'shop around' for doctors, or obstetritians, because that made us 'prescription chasers', and all doctors knew more than us anyway.

Now, women are realising that they know just as much, if not MORE than their doc most of the time. Yes, your doctor may know about textbook pregnancy and labour, but YOU know what feels right for you. And now, women aren't afraid to leave the person who's not helping them, and find someone who will.

I've never been pregnant, obviously I've never been in labour, but I hope that when my time comes, I can show as much self confidence and assurance as all of you women here, who take the time, do the research, and then firmly stick to their guns. Bravo!!
