[quote=Anonymous]If it were me, I'd call my doc's office and tell them I was just getting a second opinion and ask them to send my records over. A doctor shouldn't take it personally if someone is getting a second opinion. Sending your records over doesn't mean you'd be switching, does it? Just that they want to see your records before giving you their opinion. Getting a second opinion for a major medical thing is something educated people do and doctors should know and understand that and not take offense.

<<where labor started naturally, no pitocin, water broke on its own, pushed for two+ hours with almost zero progress>>

Hmm...I dunno. I mean, my labor could be described in the same way and I pushed for 3+ hours (in multiple positions, including squatting) before finally delivering my nearly 9-pound kid vaginally. I don't think 2+ hours of pushing is so unusual for a first time mom, is it? You say he is supportive, but you also say he basically doesn't think you can do it and doesn't seem to be offering any ideas for making it more likely.

I'd get a second opinion. A second opinion is just that. Maybe you'll go see someone else and they'll say the same thing. Or, maybe they'll take a different view. But you'll never know until you ask. [/quote]
