Poor doctors, having to deal with moms who "choose" c-sections based on nothing but ridiculous fear-mongering by... the doctors.

Well she showed up in the hospital with ruptured membranes, no labor, late in the evening. The Dr. told her "well you can try to labor, but if you haven't given birth in 14 hours we will have to do an EMERGENCY cesarean, or we can just do a calm cesarean right now." Gee, what do you think this woman chose when it was put that way? Guess getting to bed before midnight was more important to this Dr. than respecting this woman's future health.
