[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both my sister and me felt railroaded into c-sections. Went into labor, got excited and went to the hospital too early in retrospect (about 4cm when admitted, maybe a little more for my sister). Contractions hurt very bad, got an epidural, couldn't move, baby's heart rate had decels, both of us ended up with c-sections.

We both got a doula (we used the same one!) for our second births and had successful VBACs. I wish I'd gotten a doula for labor #1 :([/quote]

How is it railroading when it was your own stupidity that caused it?[/quote]

Fair enough. But should every woman have to be an expert just to avoid major surgery? I guess what you're saying is, yes, every single woman should be super-educated and hire a doula just so they don't have a c-section. Wow. That's pretty wild. I suppose I agree with you, but it's still crazy that that is what OBs and you think.[/quote]

If a woman has to be an expert just to avoid major surgery, then there is something seriously, seriously wrong with the system.[/quote]
