We all have the right (responsibility, even) to ask our doctors or midwives or pediatricians or whoever, for more information, or more time to make a decision, or to decline what are becoming standard procedures.

I agree with you .. BUT....
when you have a medical provider who is telling you ...
For example...
YOU HAVE HAD A PREVIOUS C/S 10 YEARS AGO, AND ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE HAD 2 VBAC AND 2 HBAC YOU
MUST HAVE A REPEAT C/S... THERE IS NO CHOICE. YOUR BODY HAS A HIGHER CHANCE OF UTERINE RUPTURE AND IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO BIRTH VAG.
or...
YOU MUST PRECONSENT TO A C/S JUST TO HAVE ANY PRENATAL CARE DUE TO A PREVIOUS C/S
or...
WE WILL ALLOW YOU TO ATTEMPT A VBAC, BUT.....
IF YOU GO PAST 40.5 WEEKS WE MUST DO A C/S DUE TO THE FACT VBAC ATTEMPTS CAN NOT BE INDUCED AND YOUR CHANCES OF UTERIN RUPTURE ARE MUCH HIGHER AT 41 WEEKS.
Yes, these are all things I was told by Medical providers.. sOBs and Mw (under sOB supervision). Its so sad how these damn providers can hurt women and not help them out. I am by no means saying all providers are this way!!!! But the ones who are there for the mother/baby/family are being pushed out of the loop by these money grubbing providers.
PROPAGANDA PROPAGANDA!... get this.. called the local hosp in my town to ask about birth.. just as fyi.
vaginal birth....$5,000.00
c/s...... $16,000.00
now this is JUST FOR THE BIRTH ITSELF.. nothing else..
again PROPAGANDA!
off the
now.
Sorry, got a bit carried away there.. :LOL
