Knowing your own values and Beliefs in OB

Rating:
(votes: 2)


Today I had an interview on the OB floor, one of the questions that they asked me was "Why do you think that it is important to know your own values and beliefs while working in OB? I was a little stumped because all that came to my mind was the controversial issue of abortion, but I know there are more issues than just that one. Any ideas?
Breast feeding, sibling bonding, post partum care (culture wise) are some.

Circumcision, immunizations, eye antibiotic ointment, Vit K injection, placenta issues . . . . . .

Comment:
"Proper" parental roles may be issues that apply for some people. Also, natural childbirth and attitudes toward the treatment of post-partum depression can be a big deal.My guess is that a good answer is "so I can recognize what they are and avoid imposing them on other mothers and babies," but I'm not sure...can anyone confirm?

Comment:
Pitocin, monitoring, lack of mobility for women during labor...

Medicated vs. unmedicated births. Lots of interventions vs. hands off. Routine medications and immunizations in the newborn, breastfeeding vs. formula, circumcision, etc.
