    This 'comprehensive overview' on tokophobia cites CG132 incorrectly: "if a woman requests...(for her intense anxiety regarding childbirth) then she should be referred to the perinatal mental health team to treat [it]". No, it says she should be OFFERED this.

    I hadn't seen this 2014 video until tonight; picture at 8:17 is heartbreaking & too familiar. An absolute must watch & incredibly dignified interview by given what the family has been through. Indefensible lack of action by national orgs.

    Both of my births were in New Jersey. Both on maternal request. Excellent doctor & healthy outcomes for babies and mother. These arbitrary rate targets are a retrograde step. (2/2)

    New Jersey targeting rate: "experts agree it is essential to limit their use to critical cases - not questions of convenience for the doctor or patient." Concerning misunderstanding of CDMR (1/2)

    Exactly this. Many doctors defend forceps use in the context of emergency ; conveniently ignoring the other option, which is a planned at term.

    Replying to @nomadicgp @PaulineMHull and 2 others
    It's all of the above. In other words, using them when a C section should have been indicated. Forceps are important last resort tools for emergency situations - they should never be seen as a 'routine' part of delivery.

    Views in article read as though there was a golden age when forceps didn't do as much damage bec doctors had more experience. Not aware of evidence to support that theory but interested if there is. choice
