Anybody just love – NOT! this.

I was appalled by the chart – “The Reciprocal Natural Childbirth Index,” on p. 19.  How horrible. If you have something good going (or your personal preferences – heaven forbid!) in your favor, you have points added to you and the higher your score, the more you should be offered a c/s.  If your score is high enough going into labor, you should be offered an elective c/s. You get points for going into labor on a Friday afternoon; have a Bachelors degree of more, have a birth plan; etc.  And that a professor of obstetrics at a prestigious school would have it on his office wall.  Deplorable.  Should we be shocked – we have heard that those who took Bradley childbirth classes are blackballed when they walk into L&D.

This is what women need to know that many OBs think of them.  L Tammi (who does like OBs – I have a couple friendly ones who open their arms to my moms who do need to transfer, when that happens)
