You always make such a good point in your posts! I actually resigned from a very "cushy" hospital teaching job when they told me I could no longer teach the negative aspects of getting an epidural. I was allowed to say NOTHING negative about them at all, not even the known risks of epidurals. That was it for me! Ever since then, I've been teaching my OWN Lamaze classes to private clients who get a complete, evidence-based education about birth. I'm proud to say that I also just completed a DONA Birth Doula Training Workshop and am now working to become certified. I'm going to do everything in MY power to fight this "dumbing down" of expectant parents.

What I hear often in response to your last 2 questions is that women are more high risk these days -- large numbers of obese women, necessitating cesarean delivery and/or driving morbidities up due to their poor health. <br /><br />But in many cases, they do understand the issues as we do, and its just that ACOG cannot force OB's to do anything, only recommend.
