Child-birth and the US Health-care system: Is it going down


Child-birth and the US Health-care system: Is it going down??...?
okay, so some moms feel that dr's are against mothers and the nature of child-birth. c-section rates are sky-high and dr's love to "intervene" in the process of having a baby and they discourage mothers from home-births, esp home-births with no dr present and some moms have even been refused non-medical hospital services because there was no dr affiliated with the birthing facility or mid-wife that the mother would use... also, as recent news prove, some dr's are vendictive in that they threaten mothers with CPS and other social service interventions or obtain court orders to force treatment when moms refuse certain medical procedures like c-sections, blood-transfusions, immunizations and anti-biotics. in my opinion, it seems that we aren't far from a point in time where a mom's rights will not carry much weight and her wishes are moot. news stories like this one are crossing the line backwards on womens rights. so, where do you think our health care system is headed as far as pregnancy, child-birth and parental rights are concerned?

The laws vary from state to state. I work at a peds office and our parents are given to choice to vaccinate. The information is given and if mom still decides to avoid then a waiver is signed stating the DR recommended it and discussed the risk and mom/dad is refusing. As far as C-sections this is why I choose a Midwife to diliver my children. Since she will not get paid if a C-section needs to be preformed she will try her best to help you deliver vaginally. OB will get paid regardless and actually more for C-sections so they become cutting crazy. Its easy/fast for them
