    LOL PacRak I could get started about Telstra, I have very poor mobile service here in the country, I am in a Telstra blackspot which they are investigating

    If the title would have been worded differently I may not have posted, for example, I have a great Ob, or I love my Ob. But since it was 'Not all obs are terrible' its implying an issue of an ob bashing mentality. The whole BB is an anti-ob, anti-formula site mentality exists with some, and I am trying to convey the message that we do very much appreciate Obs here, they save lives, but also without alienating those who have had trauma with their births. I now understand that the OP was all about being happy about the choice of Ob, but the wording used wasn't clear that it was only asking for posts in agreeance - but that is foreign to me like I said, I don't post just so people will all have the same belief, support or experience. Could have also been just as easy for a response to say, 'Yes I can see how they could be hurting, must be difficult to have a bad experience. I am so lucky! I'll definitely be telling all my friends' etc etc...

    n2l - I see what you mean, but I don't get that impression at all, I see that there are people who are pro-midwife, pro-freebirth, pro-ob. And also the anti- of all of those. I just don't see it as being a massive thing? We all just have our preferences with care and can have bad experiences in all those settings. I know homebirth stories where the mothers weren't happy with the care too... just as anywhere else. Maybe I am not looking in the right places... and maybe thats a good thing. Negative energy isn't a great place to be, groups like that sap the life out of you!
