Day 9: Choosing a care provider This is probably one of the single most important decisions you will make when it come to protecting your sense of safety and what matters to you. Many providers will say they feel comfortable with things, but their track record says otherwise. Basically a provider will fall back on what they know best and feel comfortable with and will usually tell you with absoluteness that they are doing the right thing. This is not good, or bad, its just the way it is. What does this mean for you? If you dont want an episiotomy at all because it triggers you in any way and creates negative emotions, do not go to someone who usually gives episiotomies, even if they say they only do it in emergencies. If they do episiotomies consistently, they are going to do them. If they have women birth on their backs 90% of the time, you will probably end up on your back. Today, make sure you are going to someone who will respect all your needs that will help you feel safe. That may mean you find someone who does make the decisions for you because that makes you feel safer, or it may be someone who keeps away most of the time. Just make sure that their track record holds up to what they say they will do. To put in the bag: A list of numbers to call when you have questions during labor.
