What do you all think about these women? Be honest, I'd love to hear your opinions, others often have a differing views on this topic, I think its a controversial issue, one minute I sway towards normality, and suggesting otherwise, the next minute, I consider choice, and a woman's right to choose her care appropriately to meet her needs.
I also think support is highly recommended if the woman is frightened like i said i think they should have all the information on c-sections (when you have the first meet with your midwife you dont have any info on c-section just a little piece in bounty)-doesnt really explain much

which ever midwife is caring for the woman she must be very again supportive and to assure the new mum is not alone

Im not entirely sure what i have said is right but if it was me thats what i think i would do, as a midwifes job is to be supportive care for and empower women
