Caesarean births

COLTRANE · (#1 (**permalink**))

Its a known fact that the number of women choosing to have caesareans continues to rise and is well above recommended levels... according to figures releasedrecently
And teh drama does not end there;number undergoing emergency caesareans has also risen slightly, combining with elective procedures to mean that more than one fifth of women are having a major operation to give birth.

Are women really too posh to push - or are doctors encouraging more caesarean births to avoid possible legal action?

Some probably worried about stretching out there 'cookie' and not being blt to regain tightness.

Some dont want the pain

I agree with Cashmoney

Coltrane nowdays modern women wants to enjoy nookie..........and hence would like to preserve it.

and also pain..................would you undergo getting your teeth pulled out by dentist...................without any painkillers.................exactly

the only time i would disagree

is if the woman did it to keep her man happy...............

cesarians are glamourised too much in the media. a cesarian birth takes far longer to recover from than a natural birth.

i was watching a show and they told this woman baby needs to be cut out the baby came out before the ambulance came.

cesarian should only be an option of a health risk occurs

blkclapI had to stay in for a whole extra week with staples still in, breast feeding and all. The burning and ripping sensation is unbearable. The second or third day in they were plucking them out. (Sheer painI tell you.) I now have a permanent scar thatconstantlyitches. (but she's worth it!)

blkclapblkclapI had to do this because1)I was a week over due.2) I did not have a good amount of fluids and her heart rate was slowing down.

But trust me, If I were able to push her out I would have very well done so. Not that I was looking for a painless way out. I'm more then willing to take any type of pain for my sugar plum mum.

In my mind I see it as wrong if a women has a c-section only to avoid pain, selfish more like. what blows are you willing to take on behalf of your child in the future if you can't bare the pain of labor?

My sister recently gave birth to her baby andI dontunderstand why someone would opt for an unnatural process rather than the NATURAL process. Coming through the correct passage isnt just for convenience, it is actually far better for the baby. Coming through thevaginal passagethe baby goes through a few processes which are good for him or her-such as squeezing most of the liquid out of the babies lungs as it enters the world.

Obviously if a woman has to have a caesarean because of health reasons then by all means...

For those women who choose caesareans for cosmetic reason why didn't they just get someone else to have the baby for them .......jeeese Vanity is getting so out of hand these days.

Damn Coltrane, did you lead a sheltered life??

Nookie = Sex

Now, back on topic, I wouldn't advocate c-section simply for the child to be born on a certain day (I heard Posh Spice had them so as not to interfere with David's football schedule) but, as in the case of Chloe, if it's for the safety of the mother and child then do it.

I fully intended to have my son naturally, but after 10 hours of labor he still didn't drop down and his little heart rate had elevated too high so I had no choice, I had to have a c-section. It did take me a while to heal up but I was glad that my doctor stiched me up with dissolveable stiches insted of the staples.

Tighter Cookie makes for a better Nookie is the motto.
