Seriously, I am pissed. I just finished writing a very non-bitchy (for me) response to her lame post and then she goes and DDs. This is even more lame that your lame-ass post OP. Coward. Please go away now and don't return. Argh.

You have a point there.
Unless that post got out of hand after I last looked, those responses were not DDworthy at all.
OP, you can still post your thoughtful response here.
The thing that bothers me is the presumption of the DDer that if women only "thought" and researched birth that they would come to the same conclusion she did about how to give birth. It took me until after I had DS to come to appreciate the various ways women approach labor. As shocking as it might seem (insert sarcastic tone), some women just don't care about epidurals or interventions. Many of these women are relatives and friends of mine. They even sought elective inductions, had vaginal deliveries with epidurals, and had very pleasant birth experiences. I don't see why that decision should bother anyone else.
Now, if the person is interested in avoiding those same interventions, that's great too. I fall in line with that line of thinking as well. But it doesn't mean that I have to deride those who choose otherwise. I also don't like the attitude that women who go with what their doctors suggest or who choose higher intervention births just don't know any better. In my experience, they just have a different outlook on birth.
