7. Comments:
Bottom line: "You will not get OB care here unless you agree from the beginning to schedule a repeat cesareans."
"Give some real thought to a repeat cesarean. Your life would be so much simpler than going to Grand Junction for monthly appts, then there is the end of preg stuff, early labor, not sure if you are in labor. You'd get really good care here."
If you arrived at hospital and refused a c/s, their response would depend on your history and situation. If you have history of "Failure To Progress" they would want to section you.
