The only experience I've had with the whole catheter dealie is when my wife gave birth to our son.  Apparently, installing a catheter is standard procedure during childbirth. 

I am qualified to say (after having four children) that this is not 'standard procedure'. It was never once mentioned for me, and it certainly would have met with some sharp queries as to the justification for it before I let anyone try to insert one.

I would agree that my sample size is not large. However, I delivered those four children in four different hospitals with four different obstetricians.
