I see what Dr. Anne Montgomery sees.  Women having surgery just because they
were told their baby is soooooo big they PROBABLY won't be able to have a
vaginal delivery anyway.  UNBELIEVABLE??!!  It happens all of the time.  And
then surprise, some of these babies are normal size or smaller!!!!!!  I don't
understand why women aren't more concerned with their own health (and their
baby's) and risks related to unnecessary surgery.  I have taken a break from
teaching childbirth classes because it is so depressing.  (And I was sick and
tired of defending my teaching with research based info!) Many of our Doctors
want to work 9-5.  They feel they deserve it after so many years of being an
OB.  These exact words were used to our Director when she confronted them at
a meeting.

Frustrated as usual, in South Florida.
