@gunesgun C-sections are surgery. Surgery can be harmful during the least troubling procedure. I work for a surgeon (vascular) and we have an access center on site. We've had two people die before my eyes during routine angioplasty. If the person isn't healthy, if they can't tolerate general anesthesia or any number of other reasons - it can have horrible consequences. I'm telling you, it's best to go the least invasive way first. I get that a C-section can be very effective, but not safest.

@mylovesofmylife oh dear, i really don't think that's always the case you know. some people can have very long labours, but sometimes delivery needs to happen quickly, because the baby gets distressed. babies can die or get asphyxiated if the umbilical cord gets in a position where it is constantly compressed and may clot off, or say if the baby is growth restricted it may not tolerate labour as well. instrumental deliveries are sometimes indicated to prevent a bad outcome.

@44musicluvr -so your obs don't get their nice pants wrinkled by getting into a position to assist a woman squatting/hands-knees despite that on the back narrows the pelvic outlet, works against gravity, puts pressure on a major blood vessel in back oxygenating the placenta, is more painful.. I mean, come-on, what is more important, evidence based birthing practices or birth-attendant's position of comfort? Who is doing the birthing here-mother or doctor? (if your doctor means to, find another)

@Deliphius-the dummy gives birth? amazing advances in technology these days. I am sure the dummy will make an amazing mother, as her laptop will help her bond well with her baby. I do hope, however that the birth attendants trained to attend human mothers giving birth to human babies learn that it is the mother doing the birthing and not confuse her with a lifeless bit of plastic that needs another bit of plastic pulled and manipulated by experts as she (the non-expert)passively spreads her legs

@44musicluvr-so that your OBs won't have their nice pants spoiled by wrinkling due to getting into a position to assist a woman squatting or hands and knees- despite the fact that lying on the back works against gravity, puts pressure on a major blood vessel in the back oxygenating the placenta, is more painful and narrows the pelvic outlet... what is more important actual evidence based birthing practices or the doctor's position of comfort? doctor, not mother seem to be the one doing the birth

@44musicluvr I'm not sure why, but I do know my mother-in-law gave birth to my husband in the exact position you said. She had him at home with a midwife though. As far as lying on your back, i'm guessing it just gives the doctors more accessibility to check on the baby. Not a doctor or medical professional...

@44musicluvr Hello. im the best doctor in the world so i should be able to explain it. You have to lay down or the back will die. The End

@44musicluvr Your Baby would probable be crunched up Like around the wait And that would painfuly hurt the baby Im guessing ( Fact Im not a Nurse/Docter )
