[quote=Anonymous]Fwiw, I turned high risk at the very end of my pregnancy with the midwives. The team of midwives+OBs worked hard to ensure I could have a vaginal birth. The OBs were equally committed to "healthy mom, healthy baby" first and vaginal birth second. The only time a c-section was mentioned was very early on as a reason to have an epidural. I had blood oxygen and breathing issues, and they felt it was too risky to put me under anesthesia, so they felt strongly that I consider an epidural (which I had not been planning on.) I have also heard anecdotal evidence from friends and my doula that the GW OBs have actually turned down requests for C-sections b/c they felt they weren't medically necessary.[/quote]
