When considering whom to choose as a care provider for pregnancy and birth, all of the following are true EXCEPT:
  1. A woman should ask a potential provider about his or her rates of interventions, such as Caesarean sections or episiotomy.
  2. A woman should choose someone with a birth philosophy like her own.
  3. Birth can safely take place in a hospital or birthing center, or at home with a trained attendant.
  4. A woman's care provider and place of birth do not affect her confidence.
Explanation
Answer: D - A woman needs to feel confident in her birth choices, and this conviction can be shaken by the philosophy of her healthcare provider and the facility in which she plans to give birth. A mother should ask questions as she is choosing a provider, including about intervention rates, and the provider's thoughts on medical versus expectant management of labor. Each birth location has its own set of pros and cons, and a pregnant mother should explore all of them before making a definite decision.
