There has been a recent discussion about someone who had the same procedures and I posted heaps of replies from midwives, maybe in third tri or labour forums - they all said the same thing - labours all went beautifully, just slow to start. Many doctors have a problem called failure to wait - not failure to progress on the mother's part. I think there is nothing wrong with doing that if there is no sign of distress from the baby or yourself. So why just section when it's just not going fast enough for their liking, with no signs of problems? Definitely get yourself an IM if you plan to birth in hospital with challenges from the docs like you have mentioned.
