Off to see my midwife today...
Jun. 15th, 2010 10:42 am...and to ask her some important questions.
- where does the "induce at 41 weeks" policy come from?
- is this for all pregnant women, or only VBAC?
- why would it be necessary?
- What happens if I refuse?
I waffle between wanting to give her the benefit of the doubt (I was too busy panicking to actually hear if she did a reasonable take on informed decision making) and wanting to switch providers (though it's likely I'd have the same issue with anyone registered, and I find the unregistered ones a little scary). With exactly no time left, I'm defaulting to the former, which I think works towards the outcome I'd prefer anyway.
