[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care about the "experience" just want a healthy baby.... But would prefer not to go unto surgery unless it's necessary. In one practice I asked what happens if I am not comfortable with one of the docs I the rotation or on call, the receptionist suggested " oh you can just schedule a csection for the doc you want".... No I am in my first trimester with no medical need for one. I was surprised she would make such a suggestion so Blaise about it like if it isn't major surgery for scheduling [/quote]

Congratulations on your upcoming c-section!

If this is your attitude (apathy -- "I don't care") be prepared for surgery. It's easier for the OB and they make more money that way. They will find an excuse to give you one if you seem like you are disengaged and apathetic.[/quote]

"I don't care about my birth experience" does not mean "I don't care whether I give birth vaginally or via C-section."

And you're basically saying that OBs deliberately subject women to unnecessary abdominal surgery in order to make more money.[/quote]

I had 2 c-sections and I was happy with both, so I am not anti-c-section at all. However, there have been a few studies on this in which hospitalists delivered the babies instead of the current model thereby basically taking away the profit motive and the c-section rate went way down. The theory was that both the profit and time motive was gone, so doctors were fine letting women have vaginal births in more circumstances. It is interesting and something to consider if you care deeply about this. [/quote]
