Question for L&D nurses... Do you see a trend in your facility to pressure laboring women into inducing/augmenting labor (eg, with pit) when the situation may not merit this recommendation? If so, what types of explanations/reasons are typically presented to these patients - pseudomedical "risk reduction" reasons, reducing the patient's experience of discomfort (shortening labor), etc. Do you run into scenarios where a woman values taking a more natural approach but is worried after hearing a pseudomedical argument in favor for induction/augmentation - worried that a natural approach would place the baby or herself at risk? I'm curious how you identify these situations and if you have found any ways to advocate for the patient when you think the MD has inappropriate reasons for wanting to induce/augment.
