Our Dr. Miles Intervention this morning comes from a woman named Amy who is preparing for the birth of her first child.
She's seven months pregnant, and her husband has recently become adamant that she NOT use an epidural when she's giving birth.
Amy and Jake have attended some birthing classes, with many of them pushing for a "natural" birth, and Jake has bought into the idea 100%.
He continually sends Amy article after article how epidurals are bad for the baby, and could potentially cause paralysis. Amy says this situation has caused the biggest fight between them in their four years of marriage.
Does Jake have any right to demand Amy not get an epidural? It is his child after all, but obviously she's the one doing ALL the work.
