Ah, but see that is the attitude that leads to women having crappy birth experiences. :) A woman SHOULD have control over things in labor. I ought to have known what my plan was should what happened had happened and I didn't. I believe strongly that the birth of your child is one of the most important things you will ever to and to remain uneducated about it and uninvolved in your birth is a bad thing. Too many women just 'do what they are told'. I feel guilty because I knew better and had not prepared for something I knew was a possibility. I won't make that mistake again.
