Obviously, we're in different states, so perhaps the issue

me either indicating that their doctors *strongly* recommended
amnio for them, that their doctors attempted to persuade them
to do it after their first refusal, or that they were surprised
to learn that they could have refused.

....And yet those doctors advocating a 1-2% miscarriage risk amnio are
the same doctors who refuse a VBAC because of the less than 1% risk of
uterine rupture leading to a much less chance of foetal/maternal
death... the mind boggles....
