[quote=Anonymous]Another vote for the OB mattering. It helps to have nurses who are used to seeing natural birth, like at VHC, and you definitely want a doula, but when it gets down to it if your OB says it is time for a c-section or that you really need pitocin to speed things along because she is worried about the baby, are you going to say no? No. Once a care provider raises the issue of the baby's safety you'll do anything they suggest. So you need to be sure going in that you agree with your OB's view of how hard to resist intervention. I FULLY trust my midwife and the OBs at AWC. If they ever told me I needed a c-section I would first ask if we can try anything else first and if they said "no," I would be confident then and later that a c-section was the best thing. The value of trusting them is high to me. [/quote]
