[quote=Anonymous]The goal should be to have a healthy baby and a healthy mom with the least intervention. What interventions are deemed necessary is completely up to the mom, dad and doc. While working in labor and delivery I saw women so exhausted by very long med free labors that they were unable to successfully push and vacuums were used. For those moms, some med intervention would have been beneficial. I saw births where the induction and epidural seemed to stall the labor. I've seen other births go amazingly well - some med free, some with epidurals because that is what was right for that family and they each chose the least intervention to give them the best birth outcomes. C-sections as a back-up for difficult labors are necessary. The only thing personally have an issue with is elective C-sections for non medically necessary reasons.[/quote]
