[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First lesson of birth - you very often can’t control if your birth needs interventions. [/quote] Absolutely - which is why we want to give birth in a hospital setting versus at home. I just meant that if all is going well, I'd prefer not to have Pitocin "just to speed things up," etc.[/quote] I think you will find that the narrative that the doctor is just going to push tons of unnecessary medical interventions on you for their convenience is generally, at major DC hospitals, untrue. While it sure does sell plenty of doulas and natural childbirth classes, it’s just not accurate. Maybe with a handful of providers, but most of the OB groups in town are not like this. They give you pitocin if things aren’t progressing, not just so they can make their tee time. There are timelines they adhere to because they know outcomes are poor of things don’t occur in certain timeframes. [/quote]
