[quote=Anonymous]All the OBs I have encountered (and it's a fair few, multiple DCs born in 2 countries) generally do not follow an informed consent model of care. I have rarely felt as though I had a true say in my care and how to proceed, it's mostly OBs trying to coerce me into following hospital policy. Individuals in the medical profession have big egos and do not enjoy being challenged. I don't want to endanger my baby, but might have a higher risk tolerance than my OB. So I would be okay going to 42 weeks without being induced, but that was not what the OB wanted. I also wanted to decline GBS screening but again, not acceptable bc the OB wanted it. I could go on and on, but let's not pretend like women are in charge of their births here. [/quote]
