  2. Attitude, Attitude Adjustment and Philosophy • Women and providers highly motivated. • Catching babies is fun and we like it. • Our practice enables prolonged labor support. • Labor takes a REALLY, REALLY long time! • Patient choice is OK. • Most of those women you think can’t or won’t, actually can and will.
