Survey of obstetricians' personal preference and discretionary practice.
To determine obstetricians personal choices in relation to Down syndrome screening and mode of delivery for themselves or their partners. ⋯ This study demonstrates interventionist attitudes among a sizeable percentage of obstetricians in relation to antenatal screening and their own preferred mode of delivery. It suggests that obstetricians regard management options not normally available to pregnant women as valid choices for themselves or their partners.
