RT --your friend should tell the nurse to suck it. I'm surprised she got that kind of comment from someone at a birthing center. Regardless, she really doesn't need that kind of negativity at this stage.
That age-focused risk assessment can be very self-fulfilling. E.g., I believe the c-s rate goes up with age at a rate that is greater than can be explained by age-related risks that would occur before or during labor and warrant a c-s (such as preeclampsia).
