Subject: RE: [ozmidwifery] another induction I can imagine this would create problems due to logistics, because our OBs are so busy already. One yoga student of mine planned her active birth/VBAC with her OB extensively, then when she went a few days past due date he told her that he was sure

How about OBs don't take on clients for when they plan to be on holidays? "I'm sorry but I'm away in April when your baby is due. Perhaps you'd like to see my colleague Dr So-and-so?" This all came up because this one has either taken a client on knowing that he would be on hols in her last weeks
