I struggle with a related issue (with regard to hospital protocols)--do I educate women on what they can *expect* or what they *deserve*?? These are two different things in my area! I go with "what they deserve," but try to also let them know when what they deserve and what they can expect from their birth setting diverge. Great post!

I wish all expecting mothers would do more research about natural birth vs. induced/epidural birth. I am sure many, like me, will then go the natural/drug-free route. It's so rewarding and so much healthier for baby and mother. Thanks for this! I wish all expecting mothers would do more research about natural birth vs. induced/epidural birth.
