If you are having a medical procedure do you find out everything there is to know about the procedure or do you just try not to think about it and play wait and see?

I research research research. They tried to force me into an unnecessary c-section with my daughter and after my research I discovered that not only was it unnecessary but the risk from a c-section compared to the risks of a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) are much greater. When they told me that they didn't do VBAC's at 30 weeks gestation !. It didn't feel right 2. I had already proved to know more about this Dr's field then the Dr himself knew. At 32 weeks I had a midwife and delivered naturally.

Yeah ...well I try to find out everything there is to know about the procedure from my doctor ....but i do not go ahead and do a research on it .....I would surely faint even before the procedure would begin , if I stumbled upon something during my research that wasn't good :-) !

I go in with just the information they tell you when you sign the release forms. I am already aware of the most common things that can happen, I don't need really weird, hardly ever happens stuff worrying me needlessly.

This is a fabulous question, my friend. Having experienced a variety of things, I will tell you how I have done it...if it is something low-key, easy peasy and benign (in terms of impact on lifestyle) I investigate everything, I learn everything I can and I'm up to speed (as much as possible)before, during and after. If, however, it is something very very big, I have found that too much information at one time can be counterproductive..in that case, I learn what I need to learn as I go along and trust it to the professionals to take care of the rest! :)
