Cesarean Birth (C-section) Delivery & Birth

go wrong again if i tried to have a vaginal birth again...she was born perfectly healthy and it turned out that the cord was around her neck aswell so i was haunted....wouldnt regret it for a second i have 3 kids that are healthy and thats the main thing

I'm absolutely sure no people will be delivering babies in about 200 years. They will be grown in lab conditions, but with technology to aid the bonding, learning and all the emotional stuff that normally happens before birth.

But women just won't want to go through this thing, and in time the ability to give birth naturally or conceive will be lost altogether. In 400 years time, people will be prohibited to reproduce, with communities deciding what type of children should be manufactured.

It'll be like "Brave New World" where giving birth is unnatural... I am having a natural birth, that's for sure.

modern medical science is truely amazing.

I think I fainted.

I agree with Kady. I've had 3 natural births. Babies need to pass the birth canal for their chest to be depressed & flex again for the baby's lungs to fill with air and start breathing - naturally. If our bodies can CREATE a baby, then let the natural process of delivery happen.

Besides, the recovery period is almost instant. Within half an hour of the birth of my babies.

I have nothing against Cesarean sections, provided there's a medical reason for it - not for the convenience!

Peace.

Agreed. I read articles about women who have c-sections because they want to have a baby on a specific date...that's just wrong.

SAME!

I am a nurse. I highly reccommend natural child birth. C-Sections may seem like the easy way out but it is an intrusive procedure that presents great risks to the mother and child as far as infection goes. Natural childbirth is not as bad as people believe it to be and has many great benefits that c-sections deprive you of! Yes, it is necessary to have a c-section in some cases but when given a choice...choose natural childbirth! You won't regret it!
