Too True! We were dragged into a consultant meeting at hospital because we refused induction at 14 days 'over' (by their 'pregnancy is a machine-like process' measures). They had us there for hours trying to make sure we were making an 'informed decision' by filling us with their fears.

we said, 'well, can we go home after you give the pill to induce?' they said no, so we said no... In exasperation, the midwife asked why we were so averse to induction, and I simply replied 'because this...{gesturing around the hospital} is no place to welcome a new life into the world unless you have to'....the consultant then left us...

baby was born the next day, at home :)
