they refused induction of labor against the advice of their medical provider.
Not exact matches
I actually had one doctor in Wheeling tell me that if I
refused * any *
of the procedures she considers standard (including
induction right at 40 weeks, an IV, and constant fetal monitoring), that she will
refuse to deliver my child, even if I'm in the maternity ward and in active
labor!
Even though the ACOG practice bulletin notes that
induction and augmentation remains an option for those undergoing a trial
of labor, many physicians
refuse to include these in their personal practice guidelines.
