Thank goodness the couple had the self confidence and trusted their own instincts and their doula instead of taking the attitude that "DR always knows best". Hope to hear that they're holding their new baby very soon (if not already). This happens too many times.!

This is such a common situation. One resource I often refer to is "A Guide to Effective Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth," Edited by Enkin, Keirse, Neilson, et al. It's from the folks who do the Cochran Database, and it's basically a literature review on all the major OB topics that are still at all controversial. Might be too medical lingo laden for some clients, but it helps me wrap my head around issues. Thanks for writing this! Caren Thanks Sharon!

I am trying to find where I can order a free copy of the report as you mentioned. I can't find it,will send me the link? It could be that it is 3:30 am and I am in a steroid induced awake time or that I have chemo brain, or that I lack the computer skills to find it. Anyway you are the queen of resources, thanks.

Thanks for coaching this new doula through one of the toughest positions we find ourselves. *sigh* So hard when parents receive information from trusted care providers that erodes confidence.
