Statistically, hospitals are NOT getting away from intervention (from the reading I've been doing). I think it's very regional - some encourage what you describe, others not at all. From what I've heard, had I stayed with Kaiser, I could have had a low intervention birth. But it bothers me that I have to put that stuff in writing and make sure that some one is advocating on my behalf for it the entire time. It's sad that the first instinct is to make it easier for hospitals rather than for women.
Plus, the more I read and experience the more I realize that the medical world hates women.
A question, were you induced at all with #2? I've read that Pitocin can sometimes cause hemorraghing (how the hell do you spell that?). Was it related to your placenta? Just wondering.
