This is especially true for pregnancy. The provider you choose has an extreme amount of power over you towards the end.
For my first we were basically threatened and coerced for near zero medical reason to get "interventions". Before we got to the hospital we were promised one thing, but when we got there it was break her water or find a new provider and potentially have our baby die.
We trusted the doctors even though we both felt coerced and lied to. It all culminated in an unnecessary C-section 12 hours later because the doctor was already woken up for someone else. She said our baby was going to have a much worse outcome. That we would just have a c-section anyway so we might as well just do it.
I think we both deal with the team from that still.
Just remember to interview your doctor's and find local patient outcomes. We wish we had the first time.
The second went with minimal intervention and, fingers crossed, the third will go the same.
Also it's not that we are against needed intervention or chosen intervention. We simple want the best outcome for everyone. Intervention imo should be a last resort or as needed for patients like my wife.
