Hello Lynette, unfortunately I
have seen a lot of the same type of thing in the hospital area where I
WAS working until recently. One ob. frequently told primips their
baby would not fit and recommended elective CS without even trial of labour,
which sadly they went along with like lambs to the slaughter. By the time
we had them in hospital pre-op it was too late to change their minds - they
truly believed the ob. MUST be right and they would be risking their baby's
safety to try labour. I tried once and the ob reported me to management,
and threatened to report me to the Nurses Board and ACMI... It's
tragic. The women just don't understand the long term consequences of
C/S and are far from "informed" of their choices. It's sooo
difficult. You can only do your best to be an advocate for the women and
then it's up to them. Best wishes, Lois
