But maybe we should be....
Should we just rely on Docs to make all the decisions (with insurances breathing down their backs) or should we take charge of our own lives as much as possible? With the Internet at our fingertips and education cash flaoting around like crazy, whe do we still want 'big brother' to know best and leave us covered?

My midwife knows this and is cool with it. (or at least she isn't wasting her breath trying to talk me in any sooner!)
