I will say, a small percent of sections are necessary. But how many of the babies "saved" were actually thrown into harms way in the first place by the $*#@* medical staff that employed the cascade of interventions (including fetal monitors that require you be bound to a bed on your back and tethered)??? I know, because of what I do for a living in the mental health field, that the human mind and its defense mechanisms is the most powerful drug. If people didn't somehow JUSTIFY what they do to others, or worse, what they allowed done to themselves, they could never live with themselves, never mind sleep at night. I also know the utter devastation cesareans wreak on women, mothers, families. As a rule, there is no TRUE informed consent in OB/GYN in the United States.

I dont understand my doctor was not uncaring I was not "patient" he knew me and I was aware of everything. I was nervous but well taken care of. I dont like when people turn everything into such negative hatefull remarks. I dont know how you can be happy advocating with such negative things like this. My family has a mix of birth experiences and it it good. Does this help those who have to have surger, they go in with such horrible feelings and fears. What a negative vibe you are sending to them.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03960600473675833682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279724539848862725.post-56561998322533601392008-01-12T20:15:00.000-06:002008-01-12T20:15:00.000-06:00Wow... this post is powerful, too.

I am sure I am stating the obvious here, but there are good medical reasons for them in some circumstances and I am one of them. I developed acute onset Class I HELLP syndrome the night of my premature son's birth. He was a small 28 weeker and my liver was in imminent danger of rupturing. My son needed to be delivered immediately to ensure we both did not die. <BR/><BR/>Just a friendly reminder there are decent medical reasons for a c-section and I was awfully glad to have a skilled doctor performing it. He saved my life and my son's life.<BR/><BR/>LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17735524011177612504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279724539848862725.post-52758784272034869592008-01-08T11:16:00.000-06:002008-01-08T11:16:00.000-06:00"The patient was then prepped and draped in the us..."The patient was then prepped and draped in the usual sterile manner(because there are TONS of nasty germs in a hospital and they're getting ready to cut you open and you wouldn't want an infection. That's why hospitals are for SICK people. Not pregnant people)"<BR/><BR/>It doesn't matter where in the world you are - they would "prep and drape you in the usual sterile fashion" whether you were in a hospital, birthing center, or even your own home.<BR/><BR/>I don't do L&D, but I know that there are a lot of c sections done unnecessarily. It is not a worthless procedure, however. It has also saved many lives.<BR/><BR/>I realize your disdain is towards the former.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279724539848862725.post-81340019700264561052008-01-08T11:05:00.000-06:002008-01-08T11:05:00.000-06:00I agree that a lot of people don't see a c-section...I agree that a lot of people don't see a c-section as major surgery! It definitely is! I'm a L&D nurse and a mother of 3... I'm all for the natural birth and if your midwife is well trained, that's one thing. But don't always assume the hospital is a bad place. Just last week I took care of a woman who came in from a birthing center. She came in after 3 hours of pushing @ 9cm... hello... if the cervix doesn't reduce don't force it! when she got to us she was only 7cm from a very swollen cervix. baby was having late decels and the midwife (lay midwife) said baby had been doing great hr in 130s. As we continued to assess this pt she started having a lot of bright red bleeding and ended up having the dreaded SPINAL and proceded to have her c-section. Well guess what? She was abrupting and we saved her baby and her life. If she wasn't at our horrible hospital I'm sure the outcome would have been much different. <BR/>I agree that vag birth is the natural/ best way to bring your baby into this world, but the hospital is a life saving place. so don't just knock it on a generalized basis.<BR/><BR/>L&D nurse!Jennifer (Niffer)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14493807264385229076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4279724539848862725.post-48510506413645107332008-01-08T10:10:00.000-06:002008-01-08T10:10:00.000-06:00Wow - This puts my C-section into a whole new ligh...Wow - This puts my C-section into a whole new light!
