Have you heard of unecessarean.com? After seeing several alarming signs in different hospitals refusing acceptance of all birth plans, doulas or natural birth methods, I found this blog entry. I had to share.

and here is a sign I mentioned.

Aspen Women's Center

1355 N University Avenue, # 110,

Provo, UT 84604

 

It has come to my attention that in your Center there is a sign denying women the freedom to chose to have a doula assisted birth or a birth plan as well as controlling which method of delivery they choose to use as a guide to labour.  This is America where women are supposed to have freedom of choice, not just acessible abortion. 

Sincerely,

Run away as fast as your swollen pregnant feet will allow!

Um, yea, not cool at all! I live in a town right near Provo and would have run for the hills if I happened to see that sign if I walked into their center. That is just insane! Thankfully there are a lot of birth options here so that a place like that isn't my only option if I couldn't have a homebirth for some reason. Ugh that just makes me ill!
