. >> i think there are some obstetricians who feel this is an extra person in the room getting in the. >> there's definitely a range of attitudes. i think generally as there are more and more doulas in a hospital, the staff becomes more comfortable. it's also, you know, important for the doulas to be responsible about that. >> reporter: a main source of tension between doulas and doctors is over the use of c-sections. while the world health organization says a c-section is appropriate up to 15% of the time, in the united states nearly 33% of all deliveries are done by c-section. mary powell thomas points to a recent research by a nonprofit group that studies the effectiveness of health care. after reviewing pregnancy support trials from 16 countries, it determined continuous support in labor, including the presence of a doula, reduces the likelihood of a c-section by as much as 22%. >> if a woman is in a situation that is scary and a medical professional gives her a quick medicalese answer, we might ask she need more information. >> reporter: it's the power of information that jessica

administrators say there were several mistakes, for example, some obstetricians were identified as ophthalmologists. the search function for doctors has been offline since last week. the corrected version could be back up next week. so far, about 95,000 applications have been filled for health insurance since october 1st. officials, though, won't say how many have actually been completed. >>> dmv investigators handed out 241 citations in a statewide crackdown of disabled placards. it happened on wednesday. 25 of the violations were right here in the bay area. investigators comb through shopping malls, universities and business districts looking for people misusing those placards. fines, by the way, start at $250. >>> new at 6:00, there could be more surveillance cameras in one of the bay area's most exclusive areas. the los gatos police department is asking anyone with surveillance cameras to add one more camera that covers the public street of their home or business. once people register their surveillance system, officers can contact them to see if crimes or suspects are caught on camera. >>> the

after dentists, obstetricians have the highest rate of suicide among medical professionals. caring for my bonsai relaxes me. i had a huge crush on the karate kid when i was a teenager. kendra: can we cut the crap? i guess i'm a little curious as to what you ladies want from me. neither of you are pregnant. well, wu, you delivered all three of my kids. each one is dumber than the last. plus, they all have add and although my husband nor i have red hair, they are all creepy ginger kids. it's caused by a recessive gene. that's one theory. do you wanna hear mine? you gave me too much pitocin when i was in labor, and it screwed up their dna. that's not theory. you just made that up. mrs. schuester, is your sister on some kind of new psychotropic medication? not that i know of. that's offensive. are you all right? shh. here's the deal, wu: my husband does the taxes for some very powerful mid-sized law firms in this town. and i'm sure somebody would be more than happy to take on my lawsuit. you'll never win. i don't have to win. there's only two obs in this town. you get even the s
